Selling Price per unit SP

Variable Costs per unit VC


Fixed Costs FC
Quantity of units sold at break-even N
Contribution Margin per unit (SP - VC) = CM

Total Revenue SP x N
Total Variable Costs VC x N

Break-even formula in units FC / (SP - VC) = N FC / CM = N


or

Profit-volume ratio PV #1 Gross Profit Contribution margin per unit


or
Total Reveue Selling Price per unit

Break-even formula in units FC / CM = units


Break-even formula dollars FC / PV = break-even in dollars Break-even in units x unit selling price
or

Cash break-even in units FC - depreciation / (SP - VC) = N

Cash break-even in dollars FC - depreciation / PV = sales dollars Break-even in units x unit selling price
or

Profit break-even in units (FC + desired profit) / (SP - VC) = N

Profit break-even in sales dollars (FC + desired profit) / PV = sales dollars Break-even in units x unit selling price
or

Example
Selling Price per unit SP $ 100
Variable Costs per unit VC $ 75
Depreciation $ 50,000
Desired Profit $ 25,000
Fixed Costs FC $ 250,000
Contribution Margin per unit (SP - VC) = CM $ 25 ( 100 - 75) = 25

Profit-volume ratio PV 0.25 ( 25 /100)

Break-even in units (250,000 / 25) 10,000


Break-even formula dollars (250,000 / .25) 1,000,000
( 10,000 x 100) 1,000,000

Cash break-even in units (250,000 - 50,000)/25 8,000

Cash break-even in sales dollars (250,000 - 50,000)/.25 $ 800,000


(8,000 x 100) $ 800,000

Profit break-even (250,000 + 25,000)/25 11,000

Profit break-even in sales dollars (250,000 + 25,000)/.25 $ 1,100,000


(11,000 x 100) $ 1,100,000
