About this calculator

Calculate break-even units and approximate revenue.

The difference between price and variable cost is contribution per unit.

Formula

Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost).

Example

10,000 fixed costs and 20 contribution per unit = 500 units.

Accuracy

NUMTX shows the assumptions next to the calculation so you can replace defaults with values that match your situation. For measurements, supplier rates, fees, interest, tax or regulated work, confirm important figures with the appropriate official or professional source.
