Ecommerce Break-Even Analysis Template
Separate fixed and variable costs before you decide how many orders a product must generate. The worksheet makes price, contribution per order and target profit explicit instead of hiding them in a blended margin.

How to use it
- 1
Use one consistent period for fixed costs and planned sales volume.
- 2
Include the variable costs that scale with each order, including fulfillment, payment fees and acquisition when appropriate.
- 3
Run a price, cost and volume scenario before treating a sales target as achievable.
The quality check before you publish
A template is only useful when the fields lead to a decision. Delete any column you will not review, assign an owner and add a date for the next check. This keeps the document operational instead of turning it into a static worksheet.
