127 sales a month to break even
That's $17,145 a month, or $205,740 a year, before you make a penny.
The math
- $135 per sale − 4% variable cost = $130 contribution
- $16,450 fixed costs ÷ $130 = 127 sales
Every sale past 127 adds $130 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 yoga studio need to make to break even?
- Divide your fixed monthly costs by the profit left on an average sale. For yoga and Pilates studios the average sale is around $135, so a business with $10,000 of fixed costs and 15% variable costs needs about 88 sales a month.
