Break-Even Analysis: Find Your Minimum Viable Revenue

📅 June 2026⏱ 5 min read✍️ Toolzilla Team

Break-even is the point where total revenue equals total costs. Below break-even you lose money; above it you profit. Every freelancer and solopreneur should know this number.

Fixed vs Variable Costs

Fixed costs (software subscriptions, insurance) stay the same monthly. Variable costs (subcontractors, materials) scale with projects.

Break-Even Formula

Break-even units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Price per Unit − Variable Cost per Unit). For service businesses, think in billable hours or project count.

Margin of Safety

The gap between current revenue and break-even is your safety buffer. A 20% margin of safety means a 20% revenue drop before you hit loss.
