Formula and methodology
Formula: Contribution = unitPrice - variableCost; theoretical units = fixedCosts / contribution; whole units = ceil(theoretical units); whole-unit revenue = whole units x unitPrice.
A unit's contribution is the revenue left after its variable cost to help cover fixed costs. Rounding units upward prevents an underfunded break-even estimate. The displayed revenue uses the same whole-unit count, while the fractional theoretical threshold is provided separately.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Fixed costs for the period — minimum 0; maximum 1000000000000
- Variable cost per unit — minimum 0; maximum 1000000000000
- Selling price per unit — Must exceed variable cost per unit.; minimum 0.01; maximum 1000000000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed costs for the period | 12000 |
| Variable cost per unit | 10 |
| Selling price per unit | 18 |
Break-even: 1500 whole units; matching revenue: 27000.00; contribution per unit: 8.00.
Assumptions and limits
- One product or service is modeled with a constant selling price and variable cost per unit, and fixed costs remain constant over the selected period.
- Selling price must exceed variable cost. Whole units are required, and capacity constraints, taxes, and demand are not predicted.
- All costs and revenue use one consistent currency and period; zero fixed costs need zero sales to cover those fixed costs.
