What is Break-Even?
Break-Even. The point where revenue exactly covers all costs — no profit, no loss. Below it you lose money; above it you start to earn.
Why it matters to your pricing
Knowing your break-even tells you the minimum a job must bring and how much work you need to cover overhead before profit begins.
