Break-even cups = Fixed costs ÷ (Price − Cost per cup). Revenue = Price × Cups × Days; variable costs = Cost per cup × Cups × Days.

What this metric means

Revenue minus variable and fixed costs gives profit. Break-even is the number of units you need to sell to cover fixed costs given your margin per unit.

How to calculate it

Revenue = Price × Cups × Days. Variable costs = Cost per cup × Cups × Days. Profit = Revenue − Variable − Fixed. Break-even cups = Fixed ÷ (Price − Cost per cup).

How to improve the metric

Raise price or volume; lower variable or fixed cost. Improve margin per unit to reach break-even sooner and increase profit per cup.

Common mistakes

Mixing time periods; forgetting fixed costs; or using selling price in cost per cup. Keep units and periods consistent.

How to interpret your result

If profit is negative, you're below break-even. Compare profit per cup and per day to see sensitivity to volume and days.

FAQs

What does this calculator do?▾
It models revenue (price × cups × days), variable costs (cost per cup × cups × days), fixed costs, profit, and break-even cups. Useful for simple product or event planning.
How is break-even calculated?▾
Break-even cups = Fixed costs ÷ (Price − Cost per cup). You need to cover fixed costs with the margin per cup. If price ≤ cost per cup, there's no break-even.
Can I use it for other products?▾
Yes. Treat 'cups' as units sold, 'price per cup' as unit price, 'cost per cup' as variable cost per unit. Same logic applies.
What are fixed costs?▾
Costs that don't vary with volume in the period: e.g. stand, permit, signage. Enter the total for the period you're modelling.
