The term break-even is used to describe the point at which the businesses costs equal that of their revenue. The break-even point is calculated by dividing the fixed costs by the contribution per unit. To work out the contribution per unit you should use the following formula, selling price-variable costs.
The break-even point can change with different scenarios examples of this are:
Fixed costs increasing
The selling price goes down
Variable costs decrease
Contribution goes up
When the fixed costs increase obviously the break-even point will increase as well because your expenditure has gone up. When the selling price goes down the break-even will increase because you’re making less money on the product. When the variable costs decrease the break-even point will also decrease because you’re expenditure has gone down. When the contribution goes up the break-even will then decrease because you’re selling more of the product.
