02 / A CLEARER WORKFLOW

Why choose this tool?

The calculation ties break even volume to the actual amount available per unit to cover fixed costs.

Before you use the result

Variable cost should include fulfillment and other per unit costs; do not count them again in fixed cost. A nonpositive contribution cannot provide a finite break even volume.
