The Breakeven Formula
Breakeven Point is reached when Total Revenue equals Total Costs. Every unit sold beyond this point contributes directly to profit.
Breakeven Units = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price - Variable Cost)Where:
- • Fixed Costs: Costs that don't change (Rent, Salaries)
- • Variable Cost: Cost per unit (Materials, Commissions)
- • Contribution Margin: Selling Price - Variable Cost
Business Example
A bakery has Fixed Costs of ₹50,000/month. Selling price of a cake is ₹500, and ingredients cost ₹200 (Variable Cost).\n\n• Contribution per Cake: ₹300\n• Breakeven: 50,000 / 300 = 167 Cakes\n\nThey need to sell 167 cakes monthly just to cover costs.
Fixed Cost: ₹50,000
Margin: ₹300/unit
Breakeven Units: 167
Breakeven Sales: ₹83,500
