FAQ

Q1: What is break-even?

The sales level where total revenue equals total costs β€” zero profit and zero loss.

Q2: What is contribution margin?

Price per unit minus variable cost per unit. It is the amount that contributes to covering fixed costs.

Q3: Why are units rounded up?

You cannot sell a fraction of most products, so units are rounded up to the next whole number.

Q4: Is pricing data uploaded?

No. Calculation is processed locally in your browser.

Q5: What if price equals variable cost?

Contribution margin is zero and there is no finite break-even. Raise price or lower variable cost.
