Why every owner should know their break-even

Break-even tells you the bare-minimum sales you must hit each month to keep the doors open. Anything above is profit; anything below is loss.

A break-even computed weekly is the single most useful number on a Kenyan SME’s wall.

Worked examples

Fixed 250k, price 800, variable 500
  • Contribution = 300 · Units = 833 · Revenue ≈ KES 666,667
