FAQ

What are break-even units?

They are the number of units that must be sold before total contribution covers fixed costs.

What should I count as variable cost?

Include costs that happen for each sale, such as production, packaging, payment fees, commissions, or shipping subsidy.

Should I round the result up?

Yes. If the result is not a whole number, round up because you cannot usually sell a fraction of a unit.
