Per-job break-even

Zero contribution margin

Each sale only covers its variable cost.

Break-even cannot be reached with the current structure. Your selling price must exceed the variable cost per job.

How the calculator works

Contribution: selling price − variable cost
Contribution margin %: contribution ÷ selling price × 100
Break-even units: fixed overhead ÷ contribution
Break-even revenue: break-even units × selling price
Target-profit units: (fixed overhead + target profit) ÷ contribution
Target revenue: target-profit units × selling price

Required jobs and their primary revenue figures round up to whole-job reality. Raw mathematical jobs and revenue remain visible for reference. Hours remain decimal.
