Break-even Point
Purpose
Calculates the number of units that must be sold to cover all fixed costs.
Formula
Break-even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price - Variable Cost per Unit)What is Break-even Point?
The Break-Even Point (in units) is the exact sales volume at which total revenues precisely match total fixed and variable costs, resulting in zero net profit and zero net loss.
How It Works
Worked Example
Fixed monthly office rent and server costs are ₹1,00,000. Your subscription costs ₹500/mo and costs ₹300/mo in compute fees. Contribution margin = ₹200. Break-even = ₹1,00,000 / ₹200 = 500 active subscribers.
When to Use This
Use this metric when launching a new product line to define minimum monthly sales quotas required to prevent burning reserve capital.
Why Use This Tool?
Gives startup teams and sales directors an unambiguous unit target. Below this milestone, every single day burns cash; above it, every additional unit contributes directly to net profit.

How do you calculate the break-even point?
Break-even point in units = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price per Unit − Variable Cost per Unit). This tells you the minimum units to sell to cover all costs.
