Break-Even Calculator

Find the sales volume and revenue needed to cover fixed and variable costs. Free to use online with no sign-up. Fast and mobile-friendly.

Enter fixed costs, unit price and variable cost to see how many units must be sold before profit begins.

Formula

Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price per unit − variable cost per unit).

Example

If each unit contributes 30 and fixed costs are 12,000, break-even is 400 units.
