How this calculator works
Use the same time period for fixed expenses and estimated sales, and enter your per-unit price and variable expense.
Formula
Break-even units = ceiling(fixed monthly expenses ÷ (price − variable cost per unit)).
Before you use the result
Calculator outputs are estimates based on the numbers you provide. Replace the examples with measurements, costs, rates, or product information appropriate to your situation.
Keep in mind
Assumes constant unit selling price and variable cost. Sales tax, returns, capacity limits, and mixed product lines are not modelled.
