Break Even Calculator

Work out how much you need to sell before the business covers what it costs to run. Put in what you pay out every month, what you charge, and what each sale costs you.

What you pay every month whether you sell anything or not. Rent, wages, insurance, software, loan payments.
$
What you charge for one of whatever you sell. If your prices vary, use a typical one, or your average.
$
Only what goes up when you make one more sale. Stock, materials, the hours you pay someone for that job, card fees. Not rent or salaries you pay anyway.
$
You keep $60 of each sale. That's a 60% margin.
Optional. Put in what you sell now, or what you think you will, and it shows what that leaves you after costs.
To cover your costs you need about
84 sales

a month, which is $8,400 of revenue at your price. Every sale after that is profit.

This is an estimate, not advice. It assumes every sale is much the same and that your fixed costs stay flat as you grow, which is rarely true for long. It works in the money you take in and pay out, not in tax, and it does not tell you whether you can afford the wait. Talk to us before acting on it.
