How break-even works

Break-even units = fixed costs รท (price โˆ’ variable cost per unit). The bracket is your contribution margin โ€” what each unit adds toward covering fixed costs. Once you sell past the break-even point, each extra unit is profit. If variable cost is equal to or above price, you can never break even at that price.
