Fixed Costs = Rent + Salaries + Utilities + Other
Variable Cost per Unit = Materials + Labor + Other
Contribution Margin = Price - Variable Cost per Unit
Break Even Units = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin

Calculate your break even point to determine minimum sales required.

Understanding Break Even

Key concepts for break even analysis:

Fixed Costs

Costs that remain constant regardless of production.

Variable Costs

Costs that vary with production volume.

Contribution Margin

Profit per unit before fixed costs.

Break Even Point

Units needed to cover all costs.

Example: $102k fixed costs, $30 variable cost, $50 price. Break even = 5,100 units.

Applications
