How to calculate sales mix break-even

Weighted contribution = A unit contribution × A share + B unit contribution × B share; units = fixed costs ÷ weighted contribution

The sales mix is measured in units, not revenue. Fractional output is a planning estimate; round operational quantities and recheck profit.

Common questions

Sales Mix Break-Even FAQ

What happens if my sales mix changes?
