Break-Even Calculator — FAQs
What is the break-even point?
The sales volume where total revenue exactly covers total costs — you make zero profit and zero loss. Formula: fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost per unit).
What are fixed vs variable costs?
Fixed costs don’t change with sales (rent, salaries). Variable costs rise per unit sold (materials, packaging). Knowing the split is the whole game.
How can I lower my break-even point?
Cut fixed costs, reduce per-unit variable costs, or raise prices. Raising price helps fastest — but only if demand holds.
Does break-even include my salary?
It should. Founders often forget to count their own pay as a fixed cost, which makes the business look viable when it isn’t.
