How it works.
Contribution per unit = selling price − variable cost. Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution, rounded up to whole units.
Know the assumptions
Assumes one product or a constant average sales mix, unchanged prices and monthly fixed costs. Use figures excluding recoverable GST. Financing, tax and capacity constraints are not modelled.

What happens if my price is below variable cost?
There is no finite break-even point when contribution is zero or negative. Review price and variable costs before adding sales.
Why are units rounded up?
If the exact calculation is a fraction of a unit, selling the next whole unit is needed to fully cover costs.
