Formula
- Use the units shown beside each field.
- Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
- Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
- Assumes all produced units are sold and constant unit variable costs. Taxes and financing are included only if entered as costs.
Example Calculation
- Fixed costs: 1000
- Variable cost per unit: 5
- Expected units sold: 200
Fixed costs = 1000; Variable cost per unit = 5; Expected units sold = 200. The primary result is 10.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use this calculator?
Enter fixed costs, variable cost per unit, expected units sold. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.
What method does it use?
break-even price=variable unit cost+fixed costs/units.. Assumes all produced units are sold and constant unit variable costs. Taxes and financing are included only if entered as costs.
Why might a rounded result differ?
The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.
Are my inputs saved online?
No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
