BREAK EVEN CALCULATOR
BREAK EVEN UK Seller Calculator
Find the number of sales where your business stops losing money, with a free break-even calculator and a downloadable Excel workbook
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.
–
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.
Take this calculator into Excel
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.

Fresh takes on business and accounting.
Company law allows accounts to run for 18 months; corporation tax never allows an accounting period longer than 12. Here is how the split is drawn.
The associated companies rules get more involved once a group has layers. Sub-subsidiaries, dormant holding companies and short accounting periods, worked through in a single example.
An acquisition partway through the year still counts as an associated company for the whole accounting period. What that does to your thresholds, and to your tax bill.
