Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate the break-even point?
Divide fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit (price minus variable cost). The result is the number of units you must sell to cover all costs. Multiply by price to get break-even revenue.
What is contribution margin?
Contribution margin is the price of a unit minus its variable cost — the amount each sale contributes toward covering fixed costs and then profit. If it’s zero or negative, you can’t break even at that price.
