How the Break-Even Calculator Works

Calculate break-even units and sales from fixed costs, selling price and variable cost per unit.

Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs รท (Selling Price โˆ’ Variable Cost)

This calculator is a general planning and reference tool. Accounting standards, tax rules, reporting periods and professional requirements can differ by country and situation.

How to use this calculator

What to enter

Enter or select the following as requested: Currency; Fixed Costs; Selling Price per Unit; Variable Cost per Unit. Follow the units, valid ranges, examples, and options displayed beside each field.

What the result means

The break-even output estimates the sales revenue or sales quantity at which the costs represented by the inputs are covered, with no profit or loss at that point. Check whether the output is money or units and whether fixed and variable costs use the same period.

When to use it

Use this to estimate a cost-coverage target under the assumptions entered. It is a scenario calculation, not a demand or revenue forecast.
