Break-even calculator for service businesses

See the contribution per job and how many whole jobs cover your fixed costs — break-even is not guaranteed profit.

— Enter fixed costs, price, and variable cost.

  • $10,000 fixed · $500 price · $300 variable → $200 contribution · 50 jobs · $25,000
  • $10,500 fixed → 52.5 exact → 53 whole jobs · $26,500
  • If contribution ≤ 0, break-even is unattainable

Break-even model from your assumptions. Does not invent market prices. Reaching break-even does not guarantee profit or positive cash flow.

Contribution = price−variable cost. Exact units = fixed÷contribution. Whole jobs = ceil(exact). Revenue = whole jobs×price. Example: $10,000 fixed, $500 price, $300 variable → $200 contribution · 50 jobs · $25,000 revenue. If contribution ≤ 0, break-even is unattainable.
