Break-Even & Contribution Margin Calculator

Estimate how many whole units cover fixed costs at a chosen price.

Your assumptions

Defaults are illustrative. Use one consistent currency.

THE RESULT

Choose your assumptions and calculate.

Model output, not a forecast. Read the assumptions below.

How the calculation works

Contribution per unit = price − variable cost. Exact break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution. Whole units round up.

Worked example

Fixed costs of 3,000, price 50 and variable cost 20 yield 30 contribution and 100 break-even units, or 5,000 revenue.
