Understanding the Break-Even Point
The break-even point is the most critical number in your financial planning. It's the moment when your retreat stops losing money and starts becoming profitable.
The Formula: Break-Even Guests = Total Fixed Costs / (Price per Guest - Variable Cost per Guest). The part in the parenthesis is your 'Contribution Margin'—the amount each guest contributes towards covering fixed costs and then generating profit.
Knowing this number allows you to set clear sales targets. If your break-even point is 12 guests, you know that the 13th, 14th, and 15th guests are your profit. This helps in making decisions about marketing spend and whether to proceed with the retreat if sign-ups are low.
