The gap between price and variable cost is the contribution margin: what each sale contributes toward rent, salaries and other fixed costs. Every sale after break-even adds its full contribution margin to profit.
Fixed costs stay the same whatever you sell (rent, insurance, software, salaried staff). Variable costs rise with each sale (materials, shipping, card fees, commissions).
A break-even figure is only useful if you compare it with what actually happened. HelloBooks Free builds your P&L from a live bank feed so you can see monthly sales and costs at any time. $0, no credit card.
