Frequently Asked Questions
What inputs do I need?
Three numbers: total fixed costs (rent, salaries), price per unit, and variable cost per unit (materials, shipping). The tool calculates units needed for revenue to equal total costs.
How do I read the chart?
Three lines: fixed costs (horizontal), total costs (rising), and revenue (steeper). Where revenue crosses total costs is break-even. Everything right of that is profit.
What if variable cost exceeds price?
Break-even is impossible — you lose money on every unit. Increase price, reduce costs, or redesign your model before proceeding.
