How You Can Benefit from the Calculator

🥗 Small Food Manufacturing

Task: Figure out how many batches to sell to cover rent, equipment, and staff.

Example: Fixed costs = $8,000 (rent, salaries), variable cost = $3 per jar, selling price = $7.

BEP: 8,000 ÷ (7 − 3) = 2,000 jars.

How it helps: Plan production volumes to ensure costs are covered before scaling up.

👕 Clothing Online Store

Task: See how many orders you need each month to pay for ads, storage, and returns.

Example: Fixed costs = $5,000 (ads, platform fees), variable cost = $12 per item (production, shipping), selling price = $30

BEP: 5,000 ÷ (30 − 12) = 278 orders.

How it helps: Set realistic monthly sales targets and adjust pricing or ad spend.
