⚖️ Break-Even Calculator – Know Your Business Threshold
Understanding when your business will start making a profit is critical for every entrepreneur, small business owner, or startup founder. Our Break-Even Calculator helps you quickly determine the point at which your revenues equal your costs, giving you clear insights into your financial planning.
What is a Break-Even Point?
The break-even point (BEP) is the sales level at which your total revenue equals total costs, meaning your business neither makes a profit nor a loss. Knowing your BEP helps you:
- Set sales targets
- Price products effectively
- Forecast profitability
- Make informed business decisions
How to Use the Break-Even Calculator
- Enter Your Fixed Costs: These are expenses that do not change with production or sales volume (e.g., rent, salaries, insurance).
- Enter the Unit Price: The selling price of a single unit of your product or service.
- Enter the Variable Cost per Unit: The cost to produce or deliver one unit (e.g., materials, direct labor).
- Calculate: Click “Calculate” to see the number of units you need to sell to break even.
The calculator instantly shows your break-even units, helping you plan production, sales strategies, and financial goals.
Understanding the Numbers
The results display the minimum number of units you need to sell to cover all your costs:
- If you sell fewer units than the break-even number, your business will operate at a loss.
- Selling more than the break-even number means your business is in profit territory.
- Adjusting your unit price or reducing costs can lower the break-even point, making it easier to reach profitability.

Using this calculator regularly can improve your business strategy, pricing decisions, and overall financial planning.
The break-even point is the number of units you need to sell to cover all costs. At this point, your business has zero profit and zero loss.
Divide your total fixed costs by the difference between the unit price and the variable cost per unit. Our calculator does this automatically for you.
It helps set sales targets, price products correctly, forecast profitability, and make informed financial decisions.
Yes, but you will need to calculate each product separately or combine costs and prices into a single calculation to get an overall break-even point.
