What is Celtic BAC Calculator?
The Celtic BAC (Business Analytics & Cost) calculator is a high-precision tool used to analyze the financial viability of business operations. By identifying the point where revenues perfectly offset expenses, businesses can determine their safety margin.
This calculator is essential for “What-If” scenarios, allowing you to see how a $5 increase in material costs (V) or a 10% reduction in price (P) affects your necessary sales volume (Q) to remain profitable.
How to Calculate (Example):
- Identify your Fixed Costs (e.g., $10,000/month).
- Determine your Unit Price (e.g., $100).
- Calculate Variable Cost per unit (e.g., $60).
- Subtract Variable Cost from Price ($100 – $60 = $40).
- Divide Fixed Costs by that result ($10,000 / $40 = 250 units).
