Enter all three amounts to calculate.
How to use
Enter fixed costs for your chosen period, the selling price per unit, and variable cost per unit. Use one currency throughout.
Formula
Contribution per unit = price − variable cost. Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution. Round units up; multiply by unit price for required sales.
Example
Monthly fixed costs of 10,000, unit price of 250 and variable cost of 150 give a contribution of 100. Selling 100 units generates 25,000 in sales and covers costs.
Assumptions and limits
This single-product estimate assumes constant prices and variable costs, all produced units are sold, and no capacity limits. Include relevant costs consistently; taxes, financing and changing sales mix may require a separate forecast.
