How the break even calculator works
Every unit sold contributes its margin toward fixed costs. Once those are covered, each additional unit becomes profit.
Formula
break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost)
Worked example
$20,000 fixed costs with a $30 contribution margin breaks even at 667 units.
