Batch profit and break-even
Use in-game money and actual costs. Example values are editable assumptions.
Use actual batch economics
Revenue is units sold multiplied by price per unit. Net profit subtracts production, packaging, selling fees and fixed batch costs. The calculator below lets you enter those amounts explicitly; it does not predict the market or select a best recipe.

An example you can check
With 20 units sold at 50 each, gross revenue is 1,000. If the total variable cost is 20 per unit, the selling fee is 10% and fixed batch costs are 100, net profit is 400. Break-even price is about 27.78 per unit. These are illustrative game-budget inputs, not verified default fees or prices.
What belongs in each field
| Field | Include |
|---|---|
| Units sold | Only the amount actually sold, not unsold inventory. |
| Unit cost | The allocated production and packaging cost of each sold unit. |
| Selling fee | The percentage applying to this sale route, if any. |
| Fixed costs | Batch expenses not already included in unit cost. |
Compare recipes fairly
- Use the same batch size and sale route for both candidates.
- Include input costs even when the ingredient was already in storage; otherwise your comparison changes when you run out.
- Keep unsold inventory and one-time setup purchases separate from recurring profit.
- Compare time as a second measure. A larger margin per unit may still earn less per session if it is much slower to produce.
Read the result correctly
Margin is net profit divided by revenue. It is not the same as markup on cost. At zero revenue, margin is undefined; the tool says so. A 100% selling fee leaves no sales revenue to cover costs, so a finite break-even sale price is not available.
