Frequently Asked Questions

How is break-even point calculated?

Break-even Units = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price − Variable Cost per Unit). For example, with ₹5L fixed costs, ₹500 selling price, and ₹300 variable cost: 5,00,000 / 200 = 2,500 units needed.

How can I lower my break-even point?

Three ways: (1) Increase selling price (careful not to lose demand), (2) Reduce variable costs (negotiate with suppliers), (3) Reduce fixed costs (downsize office, move to co-working). Even small changes compound.
