Frequently Asked Questions
You'd lose money on every unit sold regardless of volume, so there is no break-even point — the calculator flags this rather than showing a negative or infinite number of units.
Fixed costs (rent, salaries, insurance) don't change with how many units you sell. Variable costs (materials, per-unit shipping) scale directly with each unit produced or sold.
