Calculator guide
How to use this profit sensitivity calculator
This calculator shows how much operating profit changes when sales move up or down, and whether the scenario still stays above break-even revenue.
Why this matters
A 10% change in sales does not usually create a 10% change in profit.
Once fixed costs are covered, extra sales can change profit much faster. The same is true in reverse when sales fall.
How to use the result
Use this when the business is already profitable and you want a clearer view of upside and downside.
It is especially useful for deciding whether the current cost base is giving you strong leverage or leaves too little room before break-even.
