How to read the result
The break-even point is the revenue at which your sales cover all your costs: below it you lose money, above it you make money.
It is calculated by dividing fixed costs by the contribution margin rate: the share of each euro sold that remains once ingredients and other variable costs are paid.
Example: €23,220 of fixed costs and 32% variable costs give a 68% margin, so a break-even of 23,220 ÷ 0.68 ≈ €34,150 excl. VAT per month.
