Free finance planning tool
Break-even calculator for a single product or service
Enter fixed costs, selling price and variable cost per unit to calculate contribution margin, break-even units, break-even revenue and a target-profit scenario.
Contribution first
The unit margin pays for fixed costs
The difference between price and variable cost is the contribution margin per unit. The tool uses that amount to show how many units are needed before the fixed-cost line is covered.
- ✓Price must be higher than variable cost.
- ✓Fixed costs are entered for the same planning period.
- ✓Break-even is zero operating profit, not a cash-flow forecast.
Scenario check
Test a target instead of stopping at zero
A manager often needs to know the sales level for a target contribution, not only the point where losses stop. Enter a target operating profit and compare the required units with capacity and demand evidence.
- ✓Change one assumption at a time for a useful sensitivity check.
- ✓Record the sales mix if more than one product funds the fixed costs.
- ✓Keep tax, financing and owner drawings outside this simple calculation.
