Inside the normal range
183 sales a month to break even
That's $12,444 a month, or $149,328 a year, before you make a penny.
The math
- $68 per sale − 6% variable cost = $64 contribution
- $11,696 fixed costs ÷ $64 = 183 sales
Every sale past 183 adds $64 straight to the bottom line. That is why filling quiet hours is worth more than it looks — the fixed costs are already paid.

Common questions
- How much does my chiropractic clinic need to make to break even?
- Divide your fixed monthly costs by the profit left on an average sale. For chiropractic clinics the average sale is around $68, so a business with $10,000 of fixed costs and 15% variable costs needs about 174 sales a month.
