Frequently asked questions

How do I lower my break-even?

Raise price, reduce variable cost per unit, or reduce fixed costs. Even small contribution-margin improvements move break-even significantly.

What is contribution margin?

Contribution margin = (Price − Variable Cost) / Price. It tells you how much of each sale goes toward covering fixed costs.
