About This Calculator

Break-even analysis shows how many units you need to sell (or how much revenue you need to generate) before your business covers its fixed costs and starts making profit. It's one of the first calculations any new business or product launch should run.

Estimates only — not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Verify important results with a qualified professional before making decisions.

break-even units = (fixed costs + target profit) ÷ (price − variable cost); revenue = units × price
