- Include ALL fixed costs — do not forget insurance, software subscriptions, loan payments, and depreciation.
- Variable costs should include everything that scales with each sale: materials, shipping, payment processing fees, and sales commissions.
- Run the analysis at multiple price points to find the optimal balance between volume and margin.
- For subscription businesses, use monthly recurring revenue as your 'price per unit' and monthly churn cost as part of variable costs.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
What is a break-even point?
The break-even point is the number of units sold (or revenue earned) at which total revenue exactly equals total costs. Below this point you lose money; above it you earn profit. It is one of the most fundamental metrics in business planning.
What counts as a fixed cost vs. a variable cost?
Fixed costs remain the same regardless of how many units you sell — rent, salaries, insurance, software subscriptions. Variable costs change with each unit sold — raw materials, shipping, payment processing fees, sales commissions.
How accurate is this analysis?
The calculations are mathematically precise based on your inputs. Accuracy depends on how complete and realistic your cost and pricing data is. For best results, include all costs and use conservative estimates.
Can I use this for a service business?
Yes. For services, your 'unit' is a billable hour, project, or client. Variable costs might include subcontractor fees, materials, or travel. The same break-even math applies.
What is contribution margin?
Contribution margin is the selling price minus variable cost per unit. It represents how much each sale 'contributes' toward covering your fixed costs. A higher contribution margin means you reach break-even faster.
Should I use monthly or annual analysis?
Monthly is best for businesses with short sales cycles and regular revenue. Annual works better for seasonal businesses or when planning long-term. Quarterly is a good middle ground for growing businesses.
