Guidance on Utilising This Break-Even Point Calculator for SMEs


Purpose:

Understanding Break-Even Point Basics:
The break-even point shows the sales volume (units or revenue) needed to cover all costs. Fixed costs (e.g., rent, salaries) remain constant; variable costs (e.g., materials, shipping) vary per unit sold. "Per unit" refers to a single item or service (e.g., one t-shirt or consulting hour).
For multiple products, use average costs and prices or calculate separately. A lower break-even point indicates less risk. Use alongside profit margin analysis for strategic insights.

Key Components:
1. Period: Monthly or annual; fixed costs scaled (input as monthly, multiplied by 12 for annual).
2. Fixed Costs: Total costs unchanged by sales volume (e.g., rent, salaries) in AUD for the monthly period.
3. Variable Cost per Unit: Cost per single item/service sold (e.g., materials, shipping).
4. Selling Price per Unit: Price per single item/service sold (excluding GST).
