How this is calculated
Contribution Margin = Price per Unit − Variable Cost per Unit. Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin. Break-Even Revenue = Break-Even Units × Price per Unit.
Frequently asked questions
- What if my price is lower than my variable cost?
- You’d lose money on every unit sold regardless of volume — there’s no break-even point until the price covers at least the variable cost per unit.
