Break-Even Calculator
Standard contribution-margin break-even math: how many bookings a month does it take to cover your fixed costs, given your price and the variable cost of delivering each one?

Formula: break-even bookings = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost per booking). Standard contribution-margin break-even math, not a RidgeHQ-specific figure.
Why this happens
Break-even volume moves with two things: your fixed costs (rent, salaries, software, insurance) and your contribution margin (price minus the variable cost per booking — gateway fees, consumables, per-booking staff time). Either lever changes the number.
This is a general break-even formula, not specific to any software vendor. It’s useful as a baseline before evaluating whether a change to your pricing or your cost structure (including switching operational tools) moves the number in your favor.
