How the calculation works
Contribution per client = monthly revenue − variable cost. Break-even clients = ceiling(monthly fixed overhead ÷ positive contribution). If variable cost is equal to or greater than revenue, break-even is impossible under these assumptions. Client counts are rounded up to whole accounts.
For planning only. Assumptions vary by location, insurance, payroll, applicable tax and service scope. Does not constitute accounting or legal advice.
