Find out exactly how many units — and how much revenue — you need to cover your costs and start making a profit.
Your break-even point is where total revenue equals total cost — the moment a product, service or whole business stops losing money and starts making it. Knowing it tells you whether a price is viable, how many jobs you need each month to keep the lights on, and how much room you have to discount before you’re working for free.
Enter three numbers: your fixed costs (rent, salaries, software — the bills you pay no matter how much you sell), your variable cost per unit (parts and per-job labor), and your price per unit. The calculator returns the break-even point in units and in revenue, along with your contribution margin — the amount each sale contributes toward those fixed costs after variable costs are covered.
The formula is break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost per unit). The difference between price and variable cost is the contribution margin per unit; the bigger it is, the fewer sales you need. If your break-even feels too high, you have three levers: raise price, cut the variable cost per job, or reduce fixed overhead.
StandupCRM tracks your real per-job costs and revenue so your break-even isn’t a guess — but this tool is perfect for testing a new service or price before you commit.
The number of units (or revenue) where total income equals total cost — no profit, no loss.
Divide fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit (price minus variable cost per unit). This tool does it for you.
The money each sale contributes toward fixed costs after its own variable costs — price minus variable cost per unit.
