Formula

Contribution margin per unit = selling price − variable cost. Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution margin per unit, rounded up to the next whole unit.

Example

At $5,000 fixed costs, $75 selling price and $35 variable cost, break-even volume is 125 units.

Limitations

Break-even calculations assume a stable selling price, variable cost and fixed-cost range.
