About the Break-Even Calculator
Break-Even Calculator tells you the exact number of units you must sell to cover every rupee of fixed and variable cost — the moment your business stops bleeding money and starts earning a profit. Enter your fixed costs (rent, salaries, software), the variable cost per unit (raw material, packaging, shipping) and the price you sell at; the tool computes break-even units as Fixed costs ÷ (Selling price − Variable cost), the contribution margin per unit, the total revenue at break-even and the contribution-margin ratio. If price is less than or equal to variable cost, every sale loses money and there is no break-even point — the tool will flag this clearly. Currency is unit-agnostic so the math works for any market.
How to use
- Enter your total fixed costs (per month or per year — be consistent).
- Enter the variable cost per unit and the selling price per unit.
- Click Calculate to see break-even units, revenue and margin.

Pro tip
If the break-even units exceed your realistic annual market size, the product's pricing or cost structure needs rethinking before launch.

Frequently asked questions
Are tax rates up to date?
Yes — the Income Tax calculator uses the FY 2024-25 slabs announced in the Union Budget. GST and surcharge bands reflect the latest CBIC notifications.
Does this replace a CA or financial adviser?
No. These calculators are decision helpers for routine questions. Anything involving capital gains, NRI status or trust income still needs a qualified professional.
