Break-even analysis helps businesses determine the minimum sales needed to cover all costs, make pricing decisions, evaluate new products, and assess business viability. It's essential for budgeting, financial planning, and investment decisions.
Input your total fixed costs including rent, salaries, insurance, utilities, and other expenses that don't change with production volume.
Input the variable cost to produce or deliver one unit, including materials, direct labor, and other per-unit expenses.
Input the price at which you sell each unit to customers.
Get your break-even point in units and revenue, plus contribution margin and margin of safety analysis.
Use the results to set sales targets, adjust pricing strategies, and plan for profitable growth.
You need to sell relatively few units to cover costs. This indicates good profit potential and lower business risk.
You need high sales volume to become profitable. Consider reducing costs or increasing prices to improve the break-even point.
Large difference between selling price and variable cost per unit. This provides good profit potential once fixed costs are covered.
Small profit per unit after variable costs. Consider increasing prices or reducing variable costs to improve profitability.
Enter fixed costs, price, and variable cost to find the volume and revenue needed to cover all costs. Review contribution margin, safety margin, and profit at a target volume.
Analyze cost‑volume‑profit (CVP) in one place. Compute break‑even units and revenue, contribution margin and ratio, margin of safety, and profit at a target volume. Great for pricing, budgeting, and viability checks.

Important: This break-even calculator is designed for business planning, financial modeling, and educational purposes using standard break-even analysis formulas and basic cost-volume-profit relationships. While calculations are mathematically accurate for break-even point determination, actual business break-even analysis involves complex factors including variable cost behaviors, fixed cost allocations, market demand fluctuations, pricing strategies, and competitive dynamics that may not be reflected in simplified break-even models. For business decisions, investment planning, financial projections, or strategic planning, conduct comprehensive financial analysis, consider multiple scenarios, and consult qualified business advisors, accountants, or financial analysts who can provide detailed financial modeling and strategic guidance appropriate for your specific business context and market conditions.
