Whole units needed to break even
250
Assumes constant prices and costs, all produced units sold, and one product or a constant sales mix.
Contribution per unit = selling price − variable cost.
Break-even units = fixed cost ÷ contribution, rounded up for indivisible units.
Contribution per unit = selling price − variable cost. Break-even quantity = fixed costs ÷ contribution, rounded up.
With fixed costs of 5,000, price 50 and variable cost 30, each unit contributes 20. Break-even is 250 units and 12,500 in revenue.
There is no finite profitable break-even volume under those assumptions. The calculator asks you to review price and cost rather than returning a misleading number.
