When to use it.
Break-even Calculator is a spreadsheet that shows when a product starts paying for itself. Enter the price, what each unit costs you to make and send, and your fixed costs a month, and it works out the contribution per unit, the contribution margin, the units and revenue you need to break even, and your margin of safety at the sales you expect. A volume table with profit bars shows the loss turning into profit, and a second sheet compares three prices. It suits founders, makers and small shops planning a new product or subscription.
