Frequently asked questions
How is the break-even point calculated?
Divide fixed costs by the contribution margin, which is price minus variable cost. With $10,000 fixed costs and a $20 margin, you break even at 500 units.
What happens past break-even?
Every unit sold beyond the break-even point adds its full contribution margin to profit, since fixed costs are already covered.
