How it works
Contribution margin = price − variable cost. Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution margin. Units for a target profit = (fixed costs + target) ÷ contribution margin.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a variable cost?
Anything that grows with each sale: materials, shipping, payment fees, sales commission.
How can I lower my break-even point?
