FAQ

What is the break-even point?

It's the number of units you need to sell for revenue to equal costs: you neither gain nor lose. From that point on, every sale generates profit.

What is the contribution margin?

It's what each unit sold contributes toward covering fixed costs: selling price minus variable cost per unit.

How do fixed and variable costs differ?

Fixed costs (rent, salaries, insurance) don't change with how much you sell. Variable costs (materials, packaging) scale with each unit produced or sold.
