Calculate your break-even point

A break-even calculation shows how many units you need to sell before a product or project covers its fixed costs. Enter fixed costs, price per unit and variable cost per unit to estimate break-even units, revenue and contribution per unit. It is useful for pricing, launch planning, side projects and small business decisions.

Simple unit economics check

The calculator assumes one price and one variable cost per unit, so use it as a clear first pass before building a more detailed forecast.
