A visual example
What each additional sale contributes
One unit Part Amount Price 50.00 Variable cost 30.00 Contribution 20.00 One unit
The model keeps price and variable cost constant.
Fixed costs: 1,200 Units Result 50 −200.00 60 0.00 75 300.00 Fixed costs: 1,200
Result = quantity × 20 − 1,200.
60 units cover the entered costs; this is not a demand forecast.

How to use it
- Choose one period and currency, then enter its fixed costs.
- Enter selling price and variable cost per unit. Add a planned sales quantity to inspect a scenario.
- Review contribution, break-even quantity and revenue, and the scenario result. Export the assumptions together with the calculation.
Example: fixed costs of 1,200, price 50 and variable costs 30 give contribution 20 and break-even at 60 units. At 75 units, the model gives 300 operating profit before omitted costs and tax.
Details & limits
Single-product model for one consistent period and currency. Constant price and variable unit costs; no forecasts, financing or automatic tax calculation.
What happens if variable cost is at least the selling price?
There is no positive contribution to cover fixed costs, so a normal break-even sales target cannot be calculated. The model uses a constant price and variable cost for one product or a consistent equivalent unit. Mixes of products, capacity limits, financing and taxes need separate consideration. A calculated sales target is not a demand forecast.
