Break‑even Calculator

Find the sales volume needed to cover all costs. Great for planning launches, judging discounts, or evaluating fixed‑cost changes.

Profit Margin Calculator

See gross or net margin from price and cost. Useful for price reviews, promotions, and product comparisons.

Formula (Gross Margin %): ((Price − Cost) ÷ Price) × 100
Scenario: Price = $100; cost = $70 → 30% margin.
