Break-Even Point
In one sentenceThe point where revenue exactly covers costs: no profit, no loss. Everything above it is profit.
What it means
Break-even analysis tells you how many sales you need each month to cover fixed costs, given the margin on each sale. It is useful for new offers, hires, events and ad campaigns.
How to use it
- Before launching an offer or hiring, calculate how many sales it takes to break even, then ask whether that is realistic.
FormulaBreak-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price per unit − variable cost per unit)
Example: $10,000 ÷ ($500 − $100) = 25 sales a month
Example: $10,000 ÷ ($500 − $100) = 25 sales a month
