What Is a Break-Even Point?
The break-even point is the level of sales at which a business’s total revenue equals total costs. At this point, there is no profit and no loss. Understanding your break-even point helps with pricing, budgeting, and financial planning.

Break-Even Point Formula
The calculator uses the standard break-even point formula:
Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price per Unit − Variable Cost per Unit)
This formula is widely used in business analysis, accounting, and economics.
Step-by-Step Break-Even Example
- Fixed Costs: ₹50,000
- Selling Price per Unit: ₹500
- Variable Cost per Unit: ₹300
- Contribution Margin: ₹200
- Break-Even Units: 50,000 ÷ 200 = 250 units
This means you must sell 250 units to cover all costs. Any sales beyond this point generate profit.
