Break Even Point Print E-mail

Definition:

The point in business where the sales equal the expenses. There is no profit and no loss.

 

Formula:

Break-Even Point ($) = Fixed Costs ÷ Gross Margin Percentage

 

Also Known As:

Breakeven Analysis

 

Examples:

Our retail store buys widgets for $15 each, marks them up and sells them for $30. Our monthly expenses (fixed costs) are $10,000. This means our breakeven point would be $20,000 or 667 units.

 

$10,000 ÷ (15/30) = $20,000

$20,000 ÷ $30 = 667
