What a break-even chart is.
A break-even chart plots total revenue and total cost against sales volume. Their intersection is the break-even point: at that volume, the business has covered both fixed and variable costs.
Below the intersection, costs are higher than revenue; above it, revenue is higher than costs. The chart is a planning view, so use assumptions that match the product, time period, and sales channel you are evaluating.

Common questions
What is a break-even chart?
It shows the intersection of total revenue and total cost, indicating the sales volume at which a business neither loses nor makes money.
How do I read a break-even chart?
Find where the revenue and total-cost lines cross. Volumes to the left are below break-even; volumes to the right are above it.
What inputs do I need?
Use a unit selling price, unit variable cost, fixed cost, and a sensible range of sales volumes for the period you are reviewing.
Why does the total-cost line rise?
Fixed costs stay constant over the chosen range, while variable costs increase as each additional unit is sold or produced.
