Frequently Asked Questions
What is the break even point in units?
The break even point in units is the number of products you must sell to cover all fixed and variable costs. BEP (units) = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit). Selling more units than BEP generates profit.
What is contribution margin?
Contribution margin is the selling price minus the variable cost per unit. It represents how much each unit sold contributes toward covering fixed costs and generating profit. A higher contribution margin means you break even faster.
What is the margin of safety?
The margin of safety is the difference between actual (or expected) sales and break even sales. It shows how much sales can decline before you start losing money. Margin of Safety = Actual Sales - Break Even Sales.
