## What it means for a shop owner

It equals fixed costs divided by the profit margin. Every sale above it is profit and every sale below it is a loss, so it tells you how much you must sell each month to survive. A higher rent or a lower margin pushes it up.

## A worked example

Fixed costs are 3000 a month and the margin is 25%. Break-even = 3000 ÷ 0.25 = 12000 units of sales a month.
