⚖️ Break-Even Calculator
Break-even is the most clarifying number in business: the exact sales count where you stop losing money. Below it, every month costs you. Above it, every extra sale is profit. Know this number before you spend a dollar.
Sales per month to break even
14
Revenue at break-even
$2,100
Profit on every sale after that
$110
You break even at 14 sales a month ($2,100 in revenue). That is roughly 4 sales a week; every sale beyond it earns $110.
Estimates for planning, not financial advice. Your real numbers will vary; that is exactly why you track them.
Good questions about this math
What counts as a fixed cost?
Anything you pay whether or not you sell: rent, software subscriptions, insurance, loan payments, a salary you must draw. Costs that only happen when you make a sale (materials, shipping, card fees) belong in cost per sale instead.
My break-even number feels too high. Now what?
Three levers: raise the price (usually the strongest lever), cut the cost per sale, or cut fixed costs. Run each change through the calculator and watch the number move.
