Calculate Break-Even Point
ℹ️ Understanding Break-Even Analysis
What is break-even?
Your break-even point is where your revenue exactly covers your costs - no profit, no loss. Working more hours beyond this point generates profit.
Fixed vs Variable Costs
Fixed costs stay the same regardless of hours worked (rent, insurance, subscriptions). Variable costs change with each hour worked (materials, subcontractors).
Why is this important?
- Understand minimum work needed to survive
- Set realistic revenue targets
- Plan capacity for growth
- Make informed pricing decisions
Typical Dutch freelancer fixed costs
Monthly fixed costs usually range from €1,500-€3,000 depending on your setup and location.
