How the formula works
Break Even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price − Variable Cost per Unit)
- Contribution Margin = Selling Price − Variable Cost per Unit
- Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Selling Price × 100
- Break Even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin
- Break Even Revenue = Break Even Units × Selling Price
- Units for Target Profit = (Fixed Costs + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin
