Frequently asked questions

What is the break-even point?

The break-even point is the level of sales at which total revenue equals total costs — no profit, no loss. Beyond it, every unit sold generates profit.

What is the break-even formula?

Break-even units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price − Variable Cost per Unit). The denominator is called the Contribution Margin.

What are fixed costs?

Costs that don't change with output: rent, salaries, insurance, loan payments, software subscriptions.

What are variable costs?

Costs that change with each unit produced: raw materials, packaging, direct labour, payment processing fees.
