Understanding Break-Even Analysis

What is Break-Even?

The break-even point is when your total revenue equals your total costs. At this point, you're not making a profit, but you're not losing money either. Every sale after break-even is pure profit (minus variable costs).

The Formula

Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs รท (Price - Variable Cost)

Contribution Margin = Price - Variable Cost

Fixed vs Variable Costs

Fixed costs stay the same regardless of sales: rent, salaries, insurance, software subscriptions.

Variable costs change with each sale: materials, shipping, payment processing fees, packaging.

How to Lower Your Break-Even

  • Reduce fixed costs (negotiate rent, go remote)
  • Lower variable costs (bulk buying, better suppliers)
  • Increase your selling price
