Breakeven Analysis - Breakeven in Units and Breakeven in Sales

Posted on: 05/08/2023

Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis provides insights into how variations in both variable and fixed costs impact a company’s profitability. By examining the relationships between sales volume, costs, and revenue, CVP analysis helps organizations make informed decisions about pricing, production levels, and overall financial performance.

The Contribution Margin is a company's revenue minus its variable costs. You can use it to find the Breakeven Point, which is where you aren't making any profit or loss—your net is zero. Another way of looking at the contribution margin is the amount per unit to cover fixed costs. The Contribution Margin formula is Net Sales Revenue—variable Costs = Contribution Margin.
