About this calculator
Break-even is fixed cost divided by contribution per unit - what each sale leaves behind after variable cost. The catch is mix: when core and premium products carry different prices and costs, the blended contribution moves with the sales mix, and the break-even point moves with it. This model prices both products, weights them by mix, and turns the answer into units, into revenue, and - at your current pace of net adds - into months. Pull the levers to match your prices, mix, fixed costs, and growth pace, and watch break-even slide. The chain above exposes every step, including the contribution margin that does all the work. When the numbers are yours, save the model to stress-test a price change or a cost cut, and share it with your team.
