How This Calculator Works

Contribution Margin = Selling Price − Variable Cost per Unit Break-Even Volume = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin Profit = (Actual Volume × CM) − Fixed Costs

Margin of Safety = how far you are above break-even as a %. Above 25% means you can absorb a 25% drop in sales before making a loss.

How to Lower Your Break-Even Point

There are two levers: increase contribution margin (raise selling price or reduce variable cost per unit), or reduce fixed costs (renegotiate rent, right-size staff, refinance loans). When both are difficult, increasing volume to spread fixed costs over more units is often the fastest path — this is why factories actively seek new orders even at thinner margins.
