Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate my business break-even point?

Break-even occurs when cumulative revenue equals or exceeds cumulative startup, fixed and variable costs. Change the calculator inputs to estimate the first break-even month.

What costs should I include?

Include your purchase cost per unit, other variable expenses, monthly fixed costs and one-off startup investment. Forecasts are estimates and exclude tax and financing unless modelled separately.
