How break-even guides pricing
Most SMBs price by gut. Break-even forces you to face the math: at $99 with $22 variable cost and $15,000 fixed, you need 195 units/month to survive. Knowing that number changes how you allocate marketing spend, when you raise prices, and when you cut overhead.
How to lower break-even
- Raise price — the fastest lever. +10% price often = -10–20% break-even units.
- Lower variable cost — supplier negotiations, automation.
- Cut fixed costs — office, software bloat, underused tools.
