How to find your break-even point

Frequently asked questions

What is contribution per unit?

The price minus the variable cost: what each sale adds towards covering the fixed costs.

What is the formula?

Break-even units = fixed costs / (price − variable cost per unit).

What happens below the break-even point?

Each sale still covers part of the fixed costs, but the period ends with a loss.
