Common questions

What is the break-even point?

The number of units (or revenue) at which sales exactly cover fixed plus variable costs — beyond it, each sale adds profit.

What is the difference between fixed and variable costs?

Fixed costs (rent, salaries) stay the same regardless of sales; variable costs change per unit. Break-even units = fixed costs / (price - variable cost).
