Break-Even Calculator

Know exactly how many orders you need per day to cover your fixed costs. Ad spend is separate — this calculator focuses on whether your unit economics can cover rent, salaries, and tools.

Days to break evenwith ramp-up

Ramp-up assumption: "Days to break even" assumes you hit ~50% of your daily order target in Month 1 as you build traffic and ads. If your ramp-up is faster or slower, adjust this figure accordingly. This is a directional estimate, not a guaranteed timeline.

Verdict

Achievable in first month

Your contribution margin covers monthly fixed costs within a reachable order volume — break even is within sight.

Formula

Break-Even Orders = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin per Order

Daily Orders Needed = Break-Even Orders ÷ 30 days

Monthly Revenue Target = Break-Even Orders × Selling Price

Important: This covers fixed costs only. You still need additional orders (and revenue) to cover your ad spend and generate profit.

Example: Fixed costs ₹25,000, CM ₹300/order. Break-even = 25,000 ÷ 300 = 84 orders/month (2.8/day). Revenue = 84 × ₹599 = ₹50,316. You need this just to cover rent and tools — ad spend and profit come on top.

Why ad spend is NOT included in fixed costs: Ad spend scales with orders — the more you sell, the more you spend on ads. Fixed costs (rent, salaries, software) stay the same regardless of order volume. This calculator shows whether your unit economics can cover your baseline overhead. Use the Unit Economics calculator to see if you can also cover ad spend and still make profit.
