Free break-even calculator

See what it takes to break even.

Enter monthly fixed costs, average sale price and variable cost per sale. The calculator shows the sales and revenue needed to cover those costs.

Use the same currency for every money input. Results are planning estimates, not financial advice.

What break-even means

Covering costs is not the same as earning a target profit.

Break-even is the point where modelled revenue covers modelled fixed and variable costs. It does not include a profit buffer unless that target is added to fixed costs, and it does not prove customers will buy the required volume.

Use the result carefully

Check time, capacity and seasonality next.

Convert the monthly sales target into daily or weekly demand, then check whether staffing, opening hours, equipment and local demand can support it. Include taxes and owner pay where they belong in your own cost model.

Go beyond one formula

Test break-even inside the full business model.

The industry simulator connects this question to pricing, customer volume, staffing, rent, setup costs, payback, cash flow and risk.
