Each unit contributes $10.00 toward fixed costs, so you need 5,000 units ($125,000.00 of sales) before the business makes a profit.

Tentang Break-even calculator

The break-even point is the sales volume at which revenue equals total cost. Each unit sold contributes its price minus its variable cost, the contribution margin, toward fixed costs, so the break-even volume is Q = F ÷ (p − v). Break-even revenue is the fixed costs divided by the contribution margin ratio, (p − v) ÷ p.

With the defaults, fixed costs of 50,000, a price of 25 and a variable cost of 15 per unit, each unit contributes 10, a 40% margin ratio. Break-even comes at 5,000 units, or 125,000 of revenue, and a target profit of 20,000 would take 7,000 units.

The model is linear: price and variable cost per unit stay constant, and fixed costs do not step up as volume grows. Break-even units are rounded up, because one unit fewer would leave a small loss.

Pertanyaan

How do you calculate the break-even point?

Divide fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit, price minus variable cost. With fixed costs of 50,000, a price of 25 and a variable cost of 15, break-even is 50,000 ÷ 10 = 5,000 units. When the division is not whole, round up: 10,000 ÷ (7 − 4) = 3,333.33, so 3,334 units are needed.

What is the contribution margin?

The contribution margin is what each sale leaves after its variable costs, available to cover fixed costs and then profit: price − variable cost per unit. At a price of 25 and a variable cost of 15 it is 10 a unit. As a share of price, the contribution margin ratio, it is 10 ÷ 25 = 40%.

How do you calculate break-even in sales revenue?

Divide fixed costs by the contribution margin ratio. With 50,000 of fixed costs and a 40% ratio, break-even revenue is 50,000 ÷ 0.40 = 125,000, the same as 5,000 units × 25. The revenue form is useful when a business sells many products with a similar margin ratio.

How many units do I need to sell to make a target profit?

Add the target profit to the fixed costs and divide by the contribution margin: (F + target) ÷ (p − v). Earning 20,000 on top of 50,000 of fixed costs at a margin of 10 a unit takes 70,000 ÷ 10 = 7,000 units, or 175,000 of revenue at a price of 25.

How does a price change affect the break-even point?

A small price change moves break-even a lot, because it changes the margin on every unit. With 50,000 of fixed costs and a variable cost of 15, raising the price from 25 to 27 lifts the margin from 10 to 12 and cuts break-even from 5,000 to 4,167 units; cutting the price to 23 raises it to 6,250 units.

Seberapa akurat “Break-even calculator”?

Akurasi bergantung pada masukan dan asumsi metode. Aritmetika desimal memakai 50 digit signifikan, tetapi perkiraan, metode numerik dan data sumber bisa kurang presisi; pembulatan yang ditampilkan tidak menghilangkan batasan itu.
