Frequently asked questions
What counts as a fixed cost vs. a variable cost?+
Fixed costs, like rent or salaries, stay the same regardless of how much you sell. Variable costs, like materials or shipping, scale with each unit sold.
What if my price is lower than my variable cost?+
You'd lose money on every unit sold, so there's no break-even point possible without raising price or cutting variable cost first.
