Monday Money Moves
Do you know how much revenue your business must generate each month just to cover its expenses?
That number is your break-even point—and it should be one of the first numbers you review when setting sales goals, pricing services, or making spending decisions.
If your monthly expenses are $10,000, bringing in $10,000 doesn’t necessarily mean you have broken even. You must also account for the costs that increase with each sale, such as materials, inventory, delivery, merchant fees, or direct labor.
Once you know your true break-even point, you can:
✓ Set more meaningful sales goals
✓ Price your products or services more confidently
✓ Identify when expenses are growing too quickly
✓ Determine how much revenue is actually producing profit
Revenue tells you how much came in. Your break-even point tells you when the business started making money.
Do you know how much your business must generate each month before it begins producing a profit?
