Break-Even Calculator

Find the point where you stop losing money and start making it. Works for products, services and subscriptions, and explains every input in plain language.

Break-even point
…

Break-even is the moment your sales finally cover your costs, the point where you stop losing money. The maths is simple once the words are clear: your fixed costs are what you pay whether you sell anything or not, your variable cost is what each sale costs you, and the gap between your price and that variable cost is the contribution each sale makes toward covering the fixed costs. This free calculator does it for products, services or subscriptions, explains every field, and can show how many sales a month you need to break even within a set time.

Frequently asked questions

What does break-even mean?

Break-even is the number of sales (or members) at which your total revenue exactly covers your total costs, so you make neither a profit nor a loss. Every sale beyond that point contributes profit.

What is the difference between fixed and variable costs?

Fixed costs stay the same no matter how much you sell, like rent, salaries and software. Variable costs rise with each sale, like materials, payment fees and delivery. Break-even depends on both, plus your price.

How does break-even work for a subscription?

Use your fixed costs per month, the price per member per month, and the cost to serve one member. The result is the number of members you need each month to cover your monthly costs.

How do I track costs and revenue for real?

On Klairova your sales, subscriptions and payouts sit together, so the price, cost and revenue numbers behind your break-even are easy to keep current.
