How Break-Even Analysis Works
Break-even units = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price - Variable Cost per Unit). If your fixed costs are $10,000, you sell at $50, and each unit costs $20 to make, you need to sell 334 units to break even ($10,000 / $30).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the break-even point?
The number of units you must sell so that total revenue equals total costs (fixed + variable). Below this point you lose money; above it you profit.
How do I lower my break-even point?
Reduce fixed costs, lower variable costs per unit, or raise your selling price. Even small changes can have a big impact.
