Frequently asked questions about Break-even point
What is contribution per unit?
It is the sale price minus the variable cost. This amount first covers fixed costs and then generates profit.
What if variable cost exceeds the price?
There is no break-even point: every sale increases the loss. You must raise the price or reduce the variable cost.
Can I use monthly figures?
Yes. Use monthly fixed costs and units for the same month. You can also calculate an annual period if every value is annual.
