Enter your variable cost, fixed costs and sales, then press Calculate.
From the book — Chapter 2. Variable cost is what each sale itself costs (materials, packaging, fees). Fixed costs come whether you sell 5 or 500 — spread them over your sales to get the fixed cost per unit. True unit cost = variable + fixed ÷ units.
