37 sales a month to break even
That's $19,832 a month, or $237,984 a year, before you make a penny.
The math
- $536 per sale − 16% variable cost = $450 contribution
- $16,392 fixed costs ÷ $450 = 37 sales
Every sale past 37 adds $450 straight to the bottom line. That is why filling quiet hours is worth more than it looks — the fixed costs are already paid.
