How this calculation works
The contribution from each unit pays toward fixed costs. Whole-unit sales are rounded up. Prices, costs, and volume are assumed constant for the period.
Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost)
Your calculation, step by step
- Contribution = 50 − 30 = 20 per unit.
- Required volume = 5,000 ÷ 20 = 250; round up to 250 units.
A worked example
5,000 fixed costs and a 20 contribution require 250 units.
