How to Interpret Your Break-Even Number
- Break-even = 0–50 units: Great! You can cover your costs with relatively low volume.
- Break-even = 50–150 units: Manageable. Focus on marketing and cost efficiency.
- Break-even = 150+ units: High — consider raising prices, lowering costs, or testing different products.

Better Stock Planning → Avoid over-ordering or under-ordering inventory.
Smarter Marketing Goals → Turn “I hope I sell enough” into clear sales targets.
Peace of Mind → No more guessing — know your numbers from day one.

Don’t aim to just break even → aim for profit.
