Formula and method

Break-even price = total cost ÷ saleable output. Target price = (total cost + target profit) ÷ output.

Cost and optional target profit are allocated across the amount expected to be sold.

Worked example

A 25,000 total cost and 100 tonnes output gives a 250-per-tonne break-even price.
