Break-Even Best Practices

Include All Fixed Costs

Don't forget salaries, rent, insurance, software subscriptions, and any cost that doesn't change with volume.

Know Your Variable Costs

Include hosting costs per user, payment processing fees, support costs, and any cost that scales with customers.

High Contribution Margin Matters

The higher your contribution margin, the fewer units you need to break even. SaaS typically has 70-90% margins.

Plan for Buffer

Aim for at least 20% margin of safety above break-even to handle unexpected costs or revenue dips.
