Break-Even Calculator

Weigh an upfront cost against the money it saves you each month. Great for annual memberships, solar, efficient appliances, and buy-vs-subscribe calls.

The purchase

Net monthly benefit = savings minus any ongoing cost. If that's zero or negative, the purchase never breaks even.

Reasonable payback

At $90/mo net, you recoup $1,200 in month 14, then it's pure gain.

Net position over time

The line starts below zero (you're out the upfront cost) and climbs as the monthly benefit adds up. Where it crosses zero is your break-even point.
