How to use the Break-even Calculator
- 1Enter fixed costs (rent, salaries, etc.).
- 2Enter selling price and variable cost per unit.
- 3See break-even units and sales.
Formula
Contribution per unit = Selling price − Variable cost per unit. Break-even units = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution per unit (rounded up). Break-even sales = Break-even units × Selling price.
Example
Fixed costs ₹60,000 a month, price ₹500, variable cost ₹300: contribution ₹200, so you break even at 300 units, or ₹1,50,000 of sales.
