CALCULATOR & PLANNER

Break-even order planner

Find how many consistent orders would cover a stated fixed-cost budget.

Example inputs are illustrative, not recommended prices. Your entries stay in this page's memory; this tool does not send, save or apply them to your store.

How the calculation works

Break-even orders = fixed costs ÷ contribution per order, rounded up to the next whole order. Use a contribution figure after the variable costs you intend to include.

Worked example

₹12,500 divided by ₹300 requires 42 whole orders; 41 provides ₹12,300 and leaves a ₹200 gap.

Use the result carefully

This simplified model assumes a stable order mix and does not forecast demand or cash timing.

Choose a consistent time period and cost boundary. Keep a note of where each input came from, then compare the scenario with actual results. Money is displayed in rupees to two decimal places; calculation precision and rounding are described above.

Before using this in your business

  1. Replace every example input with a value you can explain.
  2. Check that taxes, refunds, shipping, labour and fixed costs are included or excluded deliberately.
  3. Run a conservative scenario as well as your expected case.
  4. Do not treat the output as a price quotation, tax advice, credit decision or automatic store setting.
