Frequently Asked Questions
What is the break-even point?
The break-even point is where total revenue equals total costs (fixed + variable). At this point, you make zero profit but also have zero loss.
What are fixed vs variable costs?
Fixed costs (rent, salaries, insurance) stay constant regardless of sales volume. Variable costs (materials, shipping, commissions) scale with each unit sold.
How do I lower my break-even point?
Reduce fixed costs, reduce variable cost per unit, or increase your selling price. Improving any of these lowers the number of units needed to break even.
