Contribution = price − variable cost. Break-even units = ceil(fixed costs ÷ contribution). Target units = ceil((fixed costs + target profit) ÷ contribution). Costs and price stay constant.

How it works & useful details

Formula & assumptions

Contribution per unit = unit price − variable cost. Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution, rounded up to whole units. Target units include your desired profit in the numerator. Prices and unit costs stay constant; all costs must refer to the same period. With positive fixed costs and nonpositive contribution, break-even is unreachable. Zero fixed costs break even at zero sales, even when later sales lose money. Scenario units: 0–1,000,000.
