What is break-even analysis?

Break-even analysis determines the point where total costs equal total revenue. At this point, your business neither makes a profit nor incurs a loss. It helps in understanding how changes in costs and volume affect profitability.

What are fixed vs variable costs?

Fixed costs remain constant regardless of production volume (rent, salaries, insurance). Variable costs change with production levels (materials, packaging, shipping per unit).

How can I lower my break-even point?

You can lower your break-even point by reducing fixed costs, decreasing variable costs per unit, or increasing your selling price. Each strategy has different implications for your business model.
