Break even point

The amount of units that need to be sold so that the revenue and costs are at the same level.  Calculated as Fixed costs divided by contribution per unit. 

E.g. if the fixed costs were £100 and the contribution per unit was £5 (100/5=20), you would need to sell 20 items to reach the break even point
