How are the results calculated?

Contribution per unit = selling price − variable cost per unit.

Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution per unit, rounded up to a whole unit.

Displayed break-even revenue = rounded-up break-even units × unit selling price.

Units for target profit = (fixed costs + target profit) ÷ contribution per unit, rounded up.

Assumptions and limits

  • Use the same period for fixed costs and target profit. The calculation assumes a constant price and variable cost for one consistent unit, without capacity limits or changes in product mix.
  • Amounts are before VAT, and the profit target is operating profit based on the costs entered. This educational estimate is not a guaranteed sales or profit forecast.
