Break-even is the single most clarifying number a small business can have. This works it out from real fixed costs and a real contribution per sale.
What's Included
- Fixed costs listed properly including the ones people forget.
- Contribution per unit rather than a headline price.
- Break-even in units and in days because a date motivates more than a quantity.
- An assistant that shows what a price rise does to the number.
How To Use
- List every fixed cost, including your own wage. Leaving it out flatters the answer.
- Use contribution, not price. Price minus nothing is not a margin.
- Convert the answer into days of the month. It lands harder.
- Recalculate whenever a fixed cost changes, not once a year.
Check the pricing that drives it with the profit margin calculator, and review the whole picture in analytics prompts.
