How to use the margin calculator
Enter what a unit costs you, what you sell it for, and your fixed monthly costs (rent, salaries, electricity). The chart shows your margin per unit and the exact number of sales where you stop losing money — your breakeven point. Try a few price points before you print the price tags; a small change in price often moves breakeven by hundreds of units.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good profit margin for a small shop?
It depends on turnover: groceries survive on thin margins with high volume, while services and made-to-order goods need 40%+ margins to cover the hours. The useful question is whether your margin covers fixed costs at the volume you realistically sell — which is what the breakeven line shows.
What counts as a fixed cost?
Costs that arrive whether you sell or not: rent, salaries, electricity, subscriptions, loan payments. Ingredients and packaging belong in the per-unit cost instead.
How do I know my real cost per unit?
Add everything consumed by one sale: materials, packaging, delivery, payment fees. Most sellers underestimate this — tracking actual sales in a POS or order book is how the guess becomes a number.
