Break-even Analysis

Money

Determines when total revenue will equal total costs, signifying the point at which profit begins.

Formula

Fixed Costs / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit)

Example

For $10,000 in fixed costs, a selling price of $100, and variable cost of $60, break-even is $10,000 / ($100 - $60) = 250 units.
