Breakeven Analysis Logic
21
22
To find the Cash Breakeven Point (the number of students needed to cover monthly fixed costs), use the following formula:
23
24
Fixed Monthly Costs / (Monthly Revenue per Student - Variable Cost per Student)

26
In this model:

Fixed Costs: (Teacher Salaries + Rent + Admin)
