Break-even Calculator

Break-even Point
Break-even Revenue ₹0
Contribution per Unit ₹0
Fixed Costs ₹0

Assumes fixed costs, price and variable cost per unit stay constant regardless of volume.

A break-even calculator tells you exactly how many units of a product or service you need to sell before you start covering your fixed costs and moving into profit.

Useful for evaluating a new product, a small business idea, or a side venture before committing — it turns "will this work" into a concrete, checkable sales number.

How This Calculator Works

Break-even Units = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price per Unit − Variable Cost per Unit). The denominator is your "contribution margin" — what each unit sold actually contributes toward covering fixed costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a fixed cost vs. a variable cost?
Fixed costs stay the same regardless of how much you sell — rent, salaries, software subscriptions. Variable costs scale with each unit sold — raw materials, packaging, per-unit shipping.
What if my price is lower than my variable cost?
Then every unit you sell loses money, and there's no break-even point at any volume — the calculator will flag this. You'd need to raise your price or cut variable costs first.
