Net Profit
£1,500
100 units sold at £50.00, costing £30.00 each, with £500.00 of fixed costs, make a net profit of £1,500.00, a margin of 30.00% of revenue. You break even at 25 units.
Net profit is revenue less variable and fixed costs. The break-even point counts whole units.

Revenue, costs and profit

Understanding profit and loss is fundamental to running any business. This calculator helps you quickly determine whether a product or service is financially viable.
How It Works
The core formula is straightforward: Profit = Revenue - Costs. But there are important distinctions between gross profit (revenue minus variable costs) and net profit (gross profit minus fixed costs).
Your profit margin percentage tells you how much of each pound of revenue you actually keep as profit. A higher margin means more financial cushion and flexibility.
Break-Even Analysis
The break-even point tells you exactly how many units you need to sell to cover all your costs. It is calculated by dividing fixed costs by the contribution margin (revenue per unit minus cost per unit).
If your cost per unit exceeds your revenue per unit, you cannot break even — every additional sale increases your loss.
