How break-even works

Every unit you sell covers its own variable cost first; what's left over — the contribution margin — goes toward paying off your fixed costs. Once enough units have been sold to cover all fixed costs, every additional unit is pure profit. Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution margin per unit.
