## How it works

Formula: break-even units = fixed monthly costs ÷ (price − variable cost per unit).

- Fixed costs do not change with sales (rent, insurance, software).
- Variable costs grow with each sale (ingredients, materials, packaging, card fees).
- This is a planning estimate; review with your accountant.

## Common questions

### What counts as a unit?

Whatever you sell: a meal, a cleaning visit, a haircut or an average job.
