Break-even number of sessions calculator
Find how many sessions cover fixed costs given fee and variable cost per session.
Introduction
This is a dedicated version of break-even maths for session-based clinics. Contribution equals session fee minus variable cost; divide monthly fixed costs by contribution.
If contribution is zero or negative, raising prices or cutting variable costs must come first.
