Break-Even Calculator
Estimate how many units—and how much revenue—you need to cover fixed and variable costs.
Estimated break-even point
Formula and methodology
Contribution per unit is selling price minus variable cost. The calculator uses:
Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution per unit
Units are rounded up; break-even revenue is rounded units multiplied by selling price.
Worked example
For fixed costs of ₹1,00,000, a ₹1,000 selling price and ₹600 variable cost, contribution is ₹400 and break-even is 250 units or ₹2,50,000 revenue.
How to use
- Use figures from the same time period.
- Enter fixed cost, price and variable cost.
- Select Calculate and review the estimate.
