Break-Even Calculator

Move the sliders and see the answer change: how many units you need to sell each month to cover your costs, where revenue crosses total cost, and what a price change actually does to that number.

Adjust the sliders — your break-even point updates instantly.

How to Read Your Result

Four things worth understanding before you price a product or service.

Contribution margin is the whole game It is the price minus the variable cost — what each sale actually contributes toward fixed costs and profit, not revenue itself.
A price below cost never breaks even If the price does not clear the variable cost, more volume makes the loss bigger, not smaller. Fix the price or the cost before you fix the volume.
Fixed costs set the finish line Rent, salaries, and subscriptions do not move with volume — the crossover point is exactly where contribution has covered all of them.
A profit target moves the target, not the maths Set a monthly profit goal and the same formula tells you the volume needed to clear it, not just to cover costs.

What This Tool Does and Doesn't Do

The maths is standard contribution-margin break-even analysis, and it runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere unless you press "Explain my numbers", and even then only the figures go, never your name or contact details.

What it can't do is account for volume discounts, step-changes in fixed costs as you scale, or seasonality. Treat the result as a clean baseline you can adjust as your real cost structure gets more textured.

Important: This is educational information, not financial advice. Confirm the figures with a qualified adviser before you commit to anything.
