Frequently Asked Questions
What is the break-even point?
It is the sales level where total revenue exactly covers total costs — no profit, no loss. Selling more than this earns profit; selling less loses money.
What is the break-even formula?
Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price per unit − variable cost per unit). The difference (price − variable cost) is the contribution margin per unit.
What if the price is below the variable cost?
Then you lose money on every sale and can never break even — you must raise the price or cut the variable cost.
