What is a break-even point?

Your break-even point is the number of sales at which your total revenue equals your total costs. Below that, you are making a loss. Above it, you are making a profit.

What are fixed and variable costs?

Fixed costs stay the same regardless of sales, like rent and insurance. Variable costs change with sales volume, like ingredients and packaging. The calculator needs both to work out your break-even.
