Break-Even Calculator

The break-even point is the number of units you must sell to cover all your costs. At this point, profit is zero. Every unit sold beyond this generates pure profit.

It tells you the minimum sales volume you need to stay in business. Knowing this helps you price projects, set income goals, and decide when to take on extra work.

You can lower it by reducing fixed costs (software subscriptions, workspace), increasing your price per unit, or lowering variable costs (materials, outsourcing). Raise prices, cut fixed costs, or improve efficiency. For pricing strategy, read Hourly vs Fixed-Price Freelance.
