Fixed costs: $10,000.00
Contribution per unit: $40.00
Contribution margin: 40.00%

Fórmula con tus valores

Contribution per unit = Unit selling price − Variable cost per unit $100.00 − $60.00 = $40.00 Break-even units = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution per unit $10,000.00 ÷ $40.00 = 250 units Round up = 250 whole units

Qué significa

You need to sell at least 250 whole units to cover $10,000.00 in fixed costs at the unit economics entered.

What is a break-even point?

The break-even point is the number of units a business needs to sell before total contribution covers its fixed costs.

Break-even formula

Break-even units = Fixed costs ÷ (Unit selling price − Variable cost per unit). The expression in parentheses is contribution per unit.

Example

With $10,000 fixed costs, a $100 selling price, and a $60 variable cost, contribution is $40. $10,000 ÷ $40 = 250 units.

Common mistakes

Mixing monthly fixed costs with annual sales prices.
Omitting per-unit delivery or payment costs.
Assuming price and cost stay constant at every sales volume.
