Is Break-even Calculator free to use?

Yes. Break-even Calculator is available on the free plan with 20 daily runs. Paid plans add higher quotas for repeat work.

Should the price in a break-even calculation include VAT or sales tax?

Use the net price, the amount you actually keep. Including tax flatters the result because the tax portion never covers a cost, and that is the most common reason a break-even figure works in a spreadsheet and not in the bank account.

What counts as a variable cost?

Anything that rises with each unit sold: materials, packaging, payment processing and often delivery. Rent, salaries and subscriptions are fixed because selling one more unit does not change them, and misclassifying one as variable moves the break-even point a long way.

What is the contribution margin?

It is the price minus the variable cost, the amount each sale contributes towards fixed costs. Break-even units are fixed costs divided by that figure, which is why a small change in a variable cost shifts the answer sharply.

Does break-even tell me whether the business will work?

No. It tells you how much you need to sell before fixed costs are covered, not whether the market will buy that much or accept your price; demand is the one assumption a calculator cannot supply.
