How it's calculated

Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost per unit)
Break-even revenue = units × price

Below the break-even point every sale still loses money overall; above it, each unit adds its contribution to profit. The lines cross where revenue equals total cost. It assumes a fixed price and cost per unit, which is rarely exact at very high or very low volumes.
