Break-even Calculator
How many sales to cover your monthly costs.
Knowing your break-even point
Your break-even is the number of sales that covers your fixed monthly costs. Everything above it is real profit. Track it monthly — if a new subscription pushes the number up, you know exactly how many extra sales it needs to justify itself.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a monthly cost?
Anything you pay to keep the shop running regardless of sales: subscriptions and apps, a portion of your equipment or software, advertising budgets, and any fixed tooling. Do not include per-item material costs here — those belong in your profit-per-sale figure.
