Frequently asked questions

What counts as a fixed cost?

Rent, salaries, software and insurance — anything that does not change with the number of units you sell.

How do I lower the break-even point?

Raise price, cut variable cost per unit, or reduce fixed overhead. Price changes usually move it fastest.
