Breakeven analysis
Breakeven Point (Units)
Number of units you need to sell to break even
Breakeven Revenue
Total revenue needed to break even
Contribution Margin
Profit per unit after variable costs
Contribution Margin Ratio
Percentage of each sale that contributes to fixed costs
Break-even Target
You need to sell at least 1,000 units to cover all your costs and start making profit.
Strong Profit Margins
Your contribution margin ratio of 66.7% is excellent! This means 66.7% of each sale goes toward fixed costs and profit.
Unit Economics
Each unit sold contributes $10.00 towards covering your fixed costs. After breaking even, this becomes your profit per unit.
