Break-Even Point Calculator – Fixed Costs, Unit Costs & Revenue

Q: What if price per unit is equal to variable cost per unit?

If price per unit equals variable cost per unit, contribution margin is zero and break-even is not possible because sales never contribute to fixed costs.

Q: Should I round break-even units up?

Yes. For physical products, you typically round up to the next whole unit, since you usually cannot sell partial units.

The calculator uses the values you enter. If you want to include taxes or fees, add them into your unit cost or adjust your unit price accordingly.

The break-even point is where your total revenue equals your total costs. At this point, you are not making a profit or a loss — you’re simply covering expenses.
