How to use it
- Enter your fixed costs for the period, like rent and salaries.
- Enter your price per unit and your variable cost per unit.
- Read your break-even point.
The math
Break-even units = fixed costs divided by (price minus variable cost per unit)
Break-even sales = break-even units times price
Good to know
- If price minus variable cost is small, small changes in price move your break-even a lot.
