Break Even Calculator (ADHD-Friendly)
Find out how many sales you need to cover costs. Simple break-even math for ADHD entrepreneurs.
You're starting something — a product, a service, a side hustle. How many do you need to sell before you're not losing money? That's the break-even point, and this calculator gives you a concrete number. Enter your fixed costs (rent, subscriptions, the stuff you pay no matter what), your price per unit, and what each unit costs you to make or deliver. See exactly how many you need to sell. That's your first goal. Below that number, you're losing money. Above it, you're profiting. Simple.

Reduce fixed costs, lower variable costs, or increase selling price.
What if my break-even seems too high?
Either raise prices, cut costs, or reconsider the business model. Better to know now than after you've invested.
