Break-even Calculator
How many units you must sell each month to cover your costs, and what you earn at any sales volume. Fixed costs are what you pay even if you sell nothing — rent, salaries. Each sale keeps the price minus what that unit cost you.
You keep per unit: Rs. 200
At that volume you make a profit of Rs. 10,000 a month.
This is a simple estimate. It does not count tax, loan interest or one-off costs, and the fixed costs are per month, so the break-even is per month too.
Break-even units = fixed costs per month ÷ (selling price per unit − cost per unit), rounded up to a whole unit. Break-even sales = break-even units × selling price. Profit at any volume = (units × what you keep per unit) − fixed costs.

Questions
Anything you pay every month whether you sell or not: shop rent, salaries, the phone and internet bill, insurance. The cost of the goods you sell is not fixed — that is the cost per unit.
You cannot sell part of a unit. If the maths says 249.2 units, selling 249 still leaves you short — you need the 250th sale to cover the costs.
Then every sale loses money and there is no break-even point at all, however much you sell. You have to raise the price, cut the cost per unit, or both.
