Contribution margin: — per unit — this is what each sale actually contributes toward covering your fixed costs.
Every time you change your pricing, add a new cost, or switch suppliers, your break-even point moves. This calculator uses three simple inputs to show you where that point sits right now — so you can make pricing decisions with real numbers instead of guesswork.
What counts as a fixed cost? Anything you pay regardless of how much you sell — rent, salaries, software subscriptions, insurance.
What counts as cost per product? Costs that scale with each unit sold — materials, packaging, shipping, payment processing fees.
Why did my break-even point jump when I lowered my price? Lowering price shrinks your contribution margin, so each sale covers less of your fixed costs — meaning you need more sales to reach the same break-even point.
