Find out exactly how many sales you need to cover your costs and start making profit. Essential for every Nigerian seller before launching a product.
Your break-even point is the number of sales needed to cover all your costs. Below it, you are losing money. Above it, every additional sale generates profit. Knowing this number before launching a product is one of the most important decisions a seller can make.
Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price − Variable Cost per Unit)
The denominator is your contribution margin -- what each sale contributes toward covering fixed costs.
Fixed costs (stay the same regardless of how many you sell):
Variable costs (change with each sale):
If your break-even point is 60 units per month but your realistic sales forecast is 20-30, the product is too risky at current pricing or cost levels. Either increase your price, find a cheaper supplier, or reduce fixed costs before you launch.
