Put a sales target behind your profit target

Each sale contributes its price less its variable cost. We divide fixed costs plus your target profit by that contribution, then round up to whole units. Revenue and achieved profit use the rounded sales volume.

Use one consistent period, such as a month. Assumes one product or a stable average sales mix and constant costs. A price at or below variable cost cannot support this target.
