Break-Even Calculator
Find the point where revenue finally covers costs. Enter fixed costs, price and variable cost per unit to get your break-even in units and dollars, and how many units it takes to hit a profit target.

The break-even formula
Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price per unit − variable cost per unit). The denominator is your contribution margin, what each sale contributes toward fixed costs after the cost of delivering it. Once enough units each contribute their margin to cover total fixed costs, you break even; every unit after that is profit.
For SaaS, read it monthly: units are customers, price is your monthly ARPA, and variable cost is the cost to serve one customer (hosting, support, payment fees). The break-even point is how many customers cover your monthly fixed costs. If variable cost is at or above price, contribution margin is zero or negative and you never break even, fix pricing or cost to serve first.
Break-even is a floor, not a goal. For the full picture, how growth, churn and burn move your path to profitability, see break-even analysis and model it in a full financial model.
