WHAT IS BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS?

Break-even analysis is a financial calculation used to determine the number of units or revenue needed
to cover total costs (both fixed and variable). At the break-even point, a business neither makes a profit
nor incurs a loss.

covering fixed costs.

BREAK-EVEN FORMULA

EXAMPLE
Let’s say you run a bakery and you want to find out how many cupcakes you need to sell to break even.

Fixed Costs: $2,000 Variable Cost per Cupcake: $2

Selling Price per Cupcake: $5
(e.g., rent, utilities) (e.g., ingredients, labor)

You need to sell approximately 667 cupcakes to cover your costs. Every cupcake sold after this point
contributes to your profit.

WHY BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS MATTERS

Understanding your break-even point helps you make informed decisions about pricing, budgeting, and
