Break-even Analysis

Break-even subscribers is the number of subscribers at which monthly revenue exactly equals monthly costs — below this the platform runs at a loss, above it every additional subscriber adds to profit. It's calculated as fixed monthly costs divided by the contribution (subscription price, minus payment fees and variable delivery cost) each subscriber contributes.
