ContactFrequently Asked Questions
How do I use this for a SaaS with monthly plans?
Work per month, and use the same period in every field:
- Fixed Costs: what you pay each month whatever the number of customers, such as salaries, base hosting and your tools.
- Selling Price / Unit: the average monthly revenue per customer. For annual plans, divide the yearly price by 12.
- Variable Cost / Unit: what one more customer costs you each month, such as payment fees, usage-based hosting and API costs, and support.
The result is the number of paying customers you need each month to cover your costs.
Why does it say the price must be greater than the variable cost?
Because then there is no break-even point. When each sale costs more than it brings in, every extra customer adds to the loss, and no sales volume can cover the fixed costs. Raise the price or lower the cost per customer first.
Should my own salary be in the fixed costs?
Yes, if break-even should mean that the business pays you. If you leave it out, the result is the point where the business covers its own costs while you work for free. Both numbers are useful, but know which one you calculated.
