Break-Even Point Calculator

Break-even is the number of sales where the business stops losing money. Below it, every month eats savings; above it, every extra sale is profit. A unit can be an item, an hour or a project; the arithmetic does not mind.

£
What you pay in a zero-sales month: rent, salaries, insurance, software.
£
What the customer pays, excluding VAT if you are VAT registered.
£
What one extra sale costs you: materials, packaging, postage, and the card or platform fee on the sale.
£
What you would like left over each month once the fixed costs are paid.
Break-even point

Enter your fixed costs, price and variable cost to see the number.

Break-even revenue

Your price does not cover the variable cost of a sale, so there is no break-even point at any volume: selling more only loses money faster. The price, the costs or the product needs to change.

The workbook version itemises your fixed costs, splits card and platform fees out of the variable cost, re-runs the number at five prices side by side, and adds a margin-of-safety check: how far sales can fall before you dip below the line.
