Finding your break-even point

Every business has two types of costs. Fixed costs stay the same whether you sell one unit or one hundred: rent, salaries, insurance, software subscriptions. Variable costs change with each job: materials, subcontractor fees, travel. Your break-even point is where total revenue covers both.

The formula is straightforward. Take your total monthly fixed costs and divide by the profit you make on each unit (selling price minus variable cost per unit). The result tells you how many units or jobs you need each month just to stay afloat.

If you sell 20 units at Rs 5,000 each with Rs 2,000 variable cost per unit, your contribution per unit is Rs 3,000. With Rs 30,000 in fixed costs, you need 10 units to break even. Anything above 10 is profit. This calculator works those numbers out instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the break-even point?+
The break-even point is where your total revenue equals your total costs. At this point, you are neither making a profit nor a loss. Every sale after break-even is profit.
How do I calculate break-even?+
Divide your total fixed costs by your profit per unit (selling price minus variable costs per unit). The result is the number of units you need to sell to break even.
What are fixed costs vs variable costs?+
Fixed costs stay the same regardless of how much you sell (rent, salaries, insurance). Variable costs change with each unit you deliver (materials, subcontractor fees, travel).
