Calculate the break-even selling price per bag or batch of horse feed from ingredient, processing, packaging, labor, overhead, yield, loss, and selling fees.
The result is the per-unit revenue needed to cover the entered batch costs after production loss and revenue fees.
Feed manufacturing and sales may be regulated. This calculator covers arithmetic only, not formulation safety, labeling, tax, or compliance.
A $2,000 entered batch cost, 100 units, 4% loss, and 3% selling fee produces a break-even price of about $21.48 per unit.
The model spreads the entered economic cost over effective output by increasing cost for the selected loss allowance.
Avoid double counting. Either reduce saleable units directly or use a loss allowance that represents the same issue, not both.
No. The main result targets zero operating margin under the entered assumptions.
It sets price so 15% of revenue remains after entered costs and selling fees.
Only include taxes that are business costs in your context; sales tax collected for authorities is usually handled separately.
