How to use it

  1. Add all the costs fijos mensuales: rental of nave/oficina, gestoría, insurance, salarios base, software, teléfono
  2. Define the price of sale medium per work/project/unit (or the revenue medium per actuación)
  3. Determine the cost variable per work: materials directos, subcontratas, allowances, fuel, commissions
  4. Calculate the margin of contribución: precio_venta − coste_variable (lo that each work aporta to cover costs fijos)
  5. Divide the costs fijos between the margin of contribución: obtien is the número mínimo of trabajos to not perder money
  6. Multiply the número of trabajos per the price of sale to Obtain the facturación mínima of equilibrio

Common mistakes

  • ⚠️ Not separate correctly costs fijos of variables: the fijos pay although not haya actividad
  • ⚠️ Calculate with precios of sale irreales: Use the price medium current of tus budgets aceptados
  • ⚠️ Forget that the punto of equilibrio rises to the increase costs fijos (hire a empleado, alquilar local más large)
  • ⚠️ Not update the cálculo periódicamente: the costs of materials and subcontratas fluctúan
  • ⚠️ Pensar that alcanzar the punto of equilibrio is enough: necesitas superarlo to generate profit current

Worked example
