How it’s calculated
Each unit contributes its price minus its variable cost toward fixed costs. The break-even point is fixed costs divided by that margin per unit, rounded up to a whole unit.
Worked example
$10,000 of fixed costs, a $50 price and a $30 variable cost leave $20 per unit: 500 units, or $25,000 of sales, to break even.
