Frequently asked questions

What is the break-even formula?

Break-even units = Fixed Costs / (Price − Variable Cost per Unit).

What is contribution margin?

The percentage of each sale that contributes to covering fixed costs: (Price − Variable Cost) / Price × 100.

What if variable cost exceeds price?

You cannot break even — each unit sold loses money. Reduce variable costs or increase price.
