Break-Even Formula & Math
Understanding the quantitative logic behind break-even volume and revenue calculations.

To find the point at which net profitability is zero, fixed overhead costs are divided by the profit contribution margin earned from each individual unit sold.

1. Unit Contribution Margin:
Contribution Margin = Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit
2. Break-Even Quantity (Units):
Break-Even Units = Total Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin
3. Break-Even Sales Revenue ($):
Break-Even Sales = Break-Even Units * Price per Unit
4. Target Profit Sales Volume:
Target Profit Units = (Total Fixed Costs + Target Profit) / Contribution Margin

Fixed costs are monthly recurring expenses that do not fluctuate with production levels (e.g., store rent, server cluster licenses, developer/employee salaries).

Variable costs are expenses incurred directly for each item sold (e.g., shipping boxes, wholesale merchandise raw materials, payment gateway fees).
