Quick FAQ

Does this calculate profit after break-even?
It identifies the sales volume where revenue covers fixed and variable costs. Profit starts after that point.

What should go in fixed cost?
Include costs that do not change with each unit in the period, such as rent, salaries, insurance, and overhead.

What should go in variable cost?
Include costs that rise per unit, such as materials, direct labor, packaging, transaction fees, or subcontract cost.

Is this a cash-flow forecast?
No. It is a simple unit economics check and does not model timing, financing, taxes, or working capital.
