How it works
The formula
Exactly what this calculator does with your numbers — no hidden assumptions.
01payments
Contribution
Contribution per unit = price − variable cost. It is what each sale adds toward fixed costs and profit.
02timeline
Break-even units
Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution per unit, rounded up.
03flag
Profit goal
Units for a goal = (fixed costs + profit goal) ÷ contribution per unit.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Q1What counts as a fixed cost?
Costs that stay the same whatever you sell: platform subscriptions, apps and software, salaries, rent, insurance and fixed marketing retainers.
Q2What counts as a variable cost?
Costs per unit sold: the product itself, marketplace and payment fees, packaging, fulfilment and shipping you pay, and ad spend per sale if you track it that way.
Q3How can I lower my break-even point?
Raise price, lower per-unit costs (better supplier terms, cheaper shipping) or cut fixed costs. Raising contribution per unit usually has the biggest effect.
