Profit target calculator
Calculate how much revenue or sales are needed to achieve your profit target. Includes break-even point and profit percentage.
What is a profit target?
A profit target is the amount you want to have left as an entrepreneur after deducting all costs. This calculator helps you determine how much revenue or sales are needed to achieve that goal.
How is it calculated?
The tool uses the formula:
Margin per product = Selling price – Variable costs
Break-even point = Fixed costs ÷ Margin
Required sales volume = (Fixed costs + Profit target) ÷ Margin
This way, you get immediate insight into your minimum sales volume.

Why is this important?
