How do I calculate my break-even point?

Break-even units = fixed costs / (price - variable cost per unit). Fixed costs are what you pay every month no matter what (rent, subscriptions, loan payments); variable costs rise with every sale (materials, packaging, payment fees).

What people ask

Pain point

How can I work out how many sales I need to break even?

PAnswer from Pludor

Enter monthly fixed costs, your price and the cost of each sale in Pludor's free Break-Even Calculator. You get the sales and revenue you need each month, and your profit at the sales you expect.

Pain point

How can I tell if my business idea can pay its bills?

PAnswer from Pludor

Put in your real monthly costs and a realistic price - if the break-even number of sales is far above what you can sell, the plan needs a higher price or lower costs.

Problem

Why am I selling a lot but not making money?

PAnswer from Pludor

If each sale barely covers its own cost, fixed costs eat the rest. The calculator shows your contribution per sale so you see the gap.
