Frequently asked questions

What is the contribution margin in the break-even tool?

It is the selling price per unit minus the variable cost per unit — the amount each unit contributes toward fixed costs and profit. The break-even point is reached when total contribution margin equals fixed costs.

Can I enter multiple income and expense lines?

Yes. The Cash Flow and Startup Cost calculators let you add and remove line items so the totals reflect your real categories.
