View tools →Break-Even Worked Through with Real Numbers
Take a side business with 2,400 dollars of fixed cost a month, a 45 dollar price, and 17 dollars of variable cost per unit. Each unit contributes 45 - 17 = 28 dollars toward the fixed bill, so break-even is 2400 / 28 = 85.71 units, rounded up to 86 because you cannot sell part of a unit. Check: 86 units brings 86 x 45 = 3,870 revenue against 2,400 + (86 x 17) = 3,862 cost, an 8 dollar surplus; 85 units gives 3,825 against 3,845, a 20 dollar loss.
Now add a marketplace taking 3 percent plus 0.30 dollars per sale. Net price becomes 45 x 0.97 - 0.30 = 43.35, contribution drops to 43.35 - 17 = 26.35, and break-even moves to 2400 / 26.35 = 91.08, so 92 units, six more than before any profit appears: 92 units earns 92 x 26.35 - 2400 = 24.20 dollars, while 91 still loses 2.15. One fee shifts the entire target.
What a Savings Projection Quietly Leaves Out
A 6,000 dollar goal funded at 250 dollars a month is exactly 24 months at 0 percent, the flat baseline most projections quietly assume. At 4 percent compounded monthly (0.04 / 12 = 0.003333) the same plan needs 23.1 months: 23 payments reach 5,966 dollars, about 34 short, and the 24th lands at 6,236. So 4 percent buys under one month and roughly 236 dollars of interest, not a different plan.
Drag works the same way. A 5 dollar monthly account fee at 0 percent cuts the payment to 245, pushing the goal to 24.5 months: 25 payments, 125 dollars in fees, 6,250 out of pocket for a 6,000 target. Dropping to 200 a month moves 0 percent from 24 to 30 months and 4 percent from 23.1 to 28.6. A negative balance means the date slipped and cash is short. Taxes and skipped months are ignored, so treat the count as a floor.
