Unit Economics

Break-Even Point Calculator

How many units — and how much revenue — you must sell each month just to cover fixed costs and reach $0. Everything above is profit.

Inputs

  • Fixed costs per month — Rent, salaries, software — costs that do not change with volume.
  • Selling price per unit — What one unit sells for.
  • Variable cost per unit — Cost that occurs with each unit: goods, shipping, fees.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter your monthly fixed costs, unit price, and variable cost per unit.
  2. The headline is how many units you must sell each month to reach $0.
  3. Everything above that line is profit; below it, you're funding the gap yourself.

What each term means

Break-even point
The sales volume where total revenue exactly covers total costs.
Fixed costs
Costs that don't change with volume: rent, salaries, software.
Contribution margin
