What is break-even point?

The break-even point is the sales volume at which total revenue equals total cost — the point where a business neither makes a profit nor incurs a loss.

How to calculate break-even point?

Break-even Quantity = Fixed Costs ÷ (Unit Price - Variable Cost per Unit). Break-even Revenue = Break-even Quantity × Unit Price.

What are fixed costs vs variable costs?

Fixed costs remain constant regardless of output (rent, equipment depreciation, salaries). Variable costs change with production volume (raw materials, packaging, piece-rate wages).

What is contribution margin?

Contribution Margin = Unit Price - Variable Cost per Unit. It represents how much each unit sold contributes toward covering fixed costs and generating profit.
