Break-Even Calculator — Find Your Break-Even Point

Calculate exactly how many units you need to sell—and at what revenue—to cover all your costs and start making a profit.

What Is a Break-Even Point?

The break-even point is the level of sales at which total revenue equals total costs, resulting in zero profit or loss. Any sales above this point generate profit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is contribution margin?
Contribution margin is the selling price per unit minus the variable cost per unit. It represents how much each sale contributes toward covering fixed costs and generating profit.

How can I lower my break-even point?
You can lower your break-even point by reducing fixed costs, decreasing variable costs per unit, or increasing your selling price — or a combination of all three.

What happens after break-even?
Once you pass the break-even point, every additional unit sold generates pure profit equal to the contribution margin per unit.
