🎯Break-Even Point

Frequently Asked Questions

What is break-even point? +
Break-even is when total revenue equals total costs. Below it = loss, above it = profit. Formula: BEP (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price - Variable Cost per Unit). It's the minimum sales needed to NOT lose money.
What are fixed vs variable costs? +
Fixed costs don't change with sales: shop rent (₹20K/month whether you sell 0 or 1000 items), staff salary, software. Variable costs change per unit: raw materials, packaging, transaction fees. Both must be covered to break even.
What is contribution margin? +
Contribution Margin = Selling Price - Variable Cost. It's how much each sale "contributes" to covering fixed costs. If product sells for ₹250 with ₹100 variable cost, contribution is ₹150 per unit. Higher = faster break-even.
How to lower break-even point? +
3 strategies: 1) Reduce fixed costs (smaller office, freelancers vs employees), 2) Reduce variable costs (bulk supplier deals, automation), 3) Increase selling price (premium positioning). Even ₹10 price increase can cut BEP by 20%.
Why is break-even important? +
It tells you: 1) Minimum sales to survive, 2) When you'll start making profit, 3) Whether your pricing is viable, 4) How vulnerable you are to demand drops, 5) When to invest in growth. Every Indian startup should know its BEP.
