Break-Even Worksheet
Two different things get called break-even. This worksheet reports them separately: the monthly visits that cover your running costs, and the months it takes to return the capital you put in.

What the Model Assumes
- Contribution per visit is spend per visit minus variable cost per visit. If that number is zero or below, no visit count reaches break-even and the worksheet says so rather than returning a figure.
- Capital recovery uses monthly contribution above fixed costs. It ignores financing costs, tax and any owner drawings, so it is the optimistic end of the range.
- A trading month of 30 days is used for the daily visit figure.
- Operating break-even and capital recovery are reported separately on purpose. Quoting the first as though it were the second is the single most common reason published payback figures disagree.
