Small Business Break-Even Calculator
Calculate the break-even point for your small business. See how many units or how much revenue you need to cover all fixed and variable costs.
Every small business owner needs to know their break-even point — the exact number of sales where revenue covers all costs. This calculator helps you determine how many units you need to sell (or how much revenue you need to earn) to stop losing money and start making profit.
Tips for Small Business Break-Even
Reduce your break-even point by lowering fixed costs (negotiate rent, go remote) or increasing your margin per unit
Calculate break-even for each product line separately — some products may be dragging down profitability
Review your break-even point quarterly as costs and prices change
