Break-even Calculator

Computes the number of units you need to sell to cover your fixed costs — your break-even point.

Your details

Break-even units (monthly)

1,000

Break-even revenue

₹5,00,000

You need to sell about 1,000 units/month (₹5,00,000 in revenue) to cover your fixed costs — each unit beyond that contributes ₹200 toward profit.

How this is calculated

Break-even units = Fixed costs ÷ (Price per unit − Variable cost per unit). Break-even revenue = break-even units × price per unit.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a fixed cost vs a variable cost?
Fixed costs (rent, salaries, insurance) don't change with sales volume; variable costs (materials, packaging, per-unit commission) scale directly with each unit sold.
What if I sell multiple products?
Run this per product line using that product's own price and variable cost, or use a blended average variable cost and price across your product mix for a rough combined estimate.
