How is break-even worked out?
Each sale contributes its price minus its variable cost. Divide your fixed costs by that contribution to find how many sales cover them.
Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost)
What are fixed and variable costs?
Fixed costs stay the same however much you sell: rent, salaries, software. Variable costs rise with each sale: materials, packaging, delivery, payment fees.
