How this calculator works
Contribution per Unit = Selling Price - Variable Cost.
Break-even Units = Fixed Costs / Contribution per Unit.
Break-even Revenue = Break-even Units × Selling Price.
Example
With ₹1,00,000 fixed cost, ₹500 selling price and ₹300 variable cost, contribution is ₹200 per unit and break-even is 500 units.
Frequently asked questions
What are fixed costs?
Costs that do not change directly with each unit sold over the relevant range, such as rent or certain salaries.
What are variable costs?
Costs that change with each unit sold or produced, such as direct materials or per-unit fulfilment cost.
What if variable cost is equal to selling price?
There is no positive contribution per unit, so normal break-even cannot be reached.
