Frequently Asked Questions
Contribution per unit = Selling Price minus Variable Cost; Break-even Units = Fixed Costs divided by Contribution per unit; Break-even Revenue = Break-even Units times Selling Price. The calculator also shows the P/V (profit-volume) ratio.
This tool works per-unit (price and variable cost per unit) to find a break-even volume. The Contribution Margin Calculator instead works with aggregate revenue and total variable costs for a whole business or product line - different level of granularity for a related concept.
This tool tells you the break-even revenue itself. The Margin of Safety Calculator takes that break-even revenue figure (which you enter directly there) and compares it against your actual sales to show your safety cushion.
Whatever costs scale directly with each unit sold (materials, direct labor, etc.) - enter your own per-unit figure; the calculator doesn't itemize this further.
