Frequently Asked Questions

What is a break-even point?

The break-even point is the sales volume where total revenue equals total costs. At this point there is no profit or loss — you've covered all your fixed and variable costs.

How do you calculate break-even?

Break-even units = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price − Variable Cost Per Unit). Break-even revenue = Break-Even Units × Selling Price.

What is contribution margin?

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

What is margin of safety?

Margin of safety measures how far actual sales are above the break-even point. It's calculated as (Actual Sales − Break-Even Sales) / Actual Sales × 100%. A higher margin of safety means lower risk.

Can I compare different scenarios?

Yes. Enter an alternative selling price, variable cost, and fixed cost in the Compare Scenario section to see a side-by-side comparison of break-even points and profitability.

What if my selling price is less than variable cost?

If the selling price is less than variable cost, the contribution margin is negative and there is no break-even point — every sale increases the loss. Review your pricing strategy.

How to Calculate

Break-Even Formula: Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price − Variable Cost Per Unit)

Contribution Margin: CM = Selling Price − Variable Cost Per Unit. This is the amount each sale contributes to covering fixed costs.

Profit: Profit = (Selling Price × Volume) − Fixed Costs − (Variable Cost × Volume)

Margin of Safety: MOS = (Expected Volume − Break-Even Volume) / Expected Volume × 100%
