How to use this tool
Enter the fixed costs, selling price per unit and variable cost per unit and the result appears straight away. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded.
Formula
Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (selling price − variable cost per unit).
Example
Fixed costs 10,000, price 50 and variable cost 30 require 500 units to break even.
Prepare your inputs
Separate fixed costs from variable costs per unit. Price must exceed variable cost; otherwise each extra sale cannot cover fixed costs.
Understand the result
Use the rounded-up whole-unit result when fractional sales are impossible. Recalculate when sales mix or unit cost changes.
