Business & Corporate Finance
Calculate margins, break-even points, and true ROI.
What this calculator does
Entrepreneurs and managers regularly confront three foundational questions: How much must we sell to cover costs (Break-even)? Are our pricing profits sufficient (Margin vs. Markup)? And what will this investment yield (ROI)? This category provides specialized tools answering these questions using standard accounting formulas. Use these accurate calculations to back up your business plans, fine-tune pricing variables, build investor pitch decks, and manage monthly KPIs.
Worked examples
- With 30,000 in monthly fixed costs, a unit price of 500, and variable costs of 200, you must sell exactly 100 units just to break even.
- If an item costs 100 and you want a true 40% Profit Margin, you must price it at 167 (not 140, which is merely a 40% markup).
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between ROI and IRR?
- ROI (Return on Investment) measures total straightforward returns. IRR (Internal Rate of Return) accounts for complex cash-flow timing (time value of money). For generalized project analysis, simplified ROI is highly effective.
