Break-Even Analysis Spreadsheet Template for Excel & Google Sheets
Find the unit volume and revenue at which each product covers all its costs. Built around the contribution-margin model: CM per unit = price minus variable cost, break-even units = fixed cost divided by CM per unit. Per-product and blended figures, expected profit at your expected volumes, margin of safety, and a sensitivity table that flexes price, variable cost, and fixed cost by plus or minus 20%. One spreadsheet, dual compatible with Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.

Break-Even Analysis Spreadsheet
Everything in This Break-Even Spreadsheet
Break-Even at a Glance
Open the Dashboard and see four headline numbers - blended contribution margin %, break-even revenue, expected profit, and margin of safety. A column chart compares break-even units against expected volume for every product so the gap is obvious.
- 4 headline KPIs covering CM, BE revenue, profit, and MoS
- BE units vs expected volume column chart
- Pacing alert banner explains the mix
One Row Per Product
Enter price, variable cost, expected volume, and allocated fixed cost for each product. Add or remove rows freely - the Break-Even sheet, Sensitivity table, and Dashboard chart roll up from these inputs. Total fixed cost is summed at the bottom.
- Price, variable cost, expected volume, allocated fixed cost
- Add or remove product rows freely
- Total fixed cost auto-sums to the Break-Even sheet
Per-Product Break-Even Math
The core sheet. For each product see contribution margin per unit, CM %, break-even units, break-even revenue, expected profit at your volume, and margin of safety. A composite row at the bottom shows the blended figures weighted by expected revenue mix.
- CM per unit, CM %, BE units, BE revenue per product
- Expected profit and margin of safety per product
- Composite row weighted by expected revenue mix
Stress-Test the Inputs
Flex price, variable cost, and fixed cost by minus 20%, minus 10%, plus 10%, and plus 20% on the lead product. The table shows BE units at each scenario, and a tornado chart ranks which lever moves break-even most in absolute terms.
- Plus/minus 10% and 20% scenarios on price, variable, fixed
- BE units recalculated at every scenario
- Tornado chart ranks lever impact
One Blended Break-Even
When you sell more than one product, individual break-evens are not enough. The composite line uses the blended contribution-margin %, weighted by expected revenue mix, to give a single break-even revenue figure for the whole portfolio.
- Blended CM % across the portfolio
- Single composite break-even revenue
- Margin of safety on the whole mix
Are You Above Break-Even?
Expected profit at your expected volumes tells you the answer in one number. The pacing banner on the Dashboard turns green when expected mix profits clear break-even, and amber if they do not - so the headline status is clear at a glance.
- Expected profit at expected volume per product
- Pacing banner flags green or amber
- Margin of safety expressed as %
Configure It for Your Business
Set your business name and currency symbol on the Settings sheet. The whole workbook reads from these values, so headers, the dashboard meta, and the chart titles all use the same currency.
- Business name and currency symbol
- Used across every sheet header
- Set once - the workbook reads from here
