Hva er Break Even Calculator?

▾

The break-even point is the level of sales at which total revenue equals total costs — producing neither a profit nor a loss. It is one of the most fundamental concepts in business planning, telling you the minimum output needed to cover all costs.

Calkulon makes complex calculations simple — built for students and everyday problem-solvers.

Slik Break Even Calculator

▾
  1. 1List all fixed costs (rent, salaries, insurance) — costs that do not change with output
  2. 2Identify the selling price per unit and variable cost per unit
  3. 3Calculate contribution margin: Selling price − Variable cost per unit
  4. 4Divide total fixed costs by the contribution margin to get break-even units

Løste eksempler

▾
Eksempel 1
Gitt:Fixed costs £5,000 · Price £20 · Variable cost £12
Resultat:625 units

5000 ÷ (20−12) = 625

Eksempel 2
Gitt:Fixed costs $10,000 · Price $50 · Variable cost $30
Resultat:500 units

$10,000 ÷ $20 = 500

Pro Tips

Lowering variable costs often has a bigger impact on break-even than raising prices, because it improves every unit sold.

The term "break-even analysis" was popularised in the 1930s by Walter Rautenstrauch, though merchants have instinctively calculated it for centuries.
