How this is calculated
Break-even units = fixed costs / (price per unit − variable cost per unit). The denominator is your "contribution margin" — how much of each sale is left over, after variable costs, to pay down fixed costs. Once you've sold enough units for that leftover to cover all fixed costs, every additional unit sold is pure profit.
