Break-Even Point (Units): 0

 

Break Even Point Formula and Example

 

The Break Even Calculator uses the following formulas:

 

Q = F / (P − V) , or Break Even Point (Q) = Fixed Cost / (Unit Price − Variable Unit Cost)

 

Where:

 

Q  is the break even quantity,

F  is the total fixed costs,

P  is the selling price per unit,

V  is the variable cost per unit.

Total Variable Cost = Expected Unit Sales × Variable Unit Cost

Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost

Total Revenue = Expected Unit Sales × Selling Price Per Unit

Profit = Total Revenue − Total Costs

 

Example: Suppose a company produces and sells a product with the following values:

 

  • Fixed Costs = $40,000
  • Variable Cost Per Unit = $5
  • Selling Price Per Unit = $10

 

In this example, the break-even point would be calculated as follows:

 

Q = $40,000 / ($10 − $5) = $40,000 / $5

Q = 8,000 units, the break-even point in unit sales is 8,000
