You are a financial analysis expert. Calculate the break-even point for [COMPANY_NAME], a [COMPANY_TYPE] (e.g., e-commerce store, restaurant, SaaS). Here are the data: monthly fixed costs: [FIXED_COSTS] € (rent, salaries, insurance, etc.). Unit variable cost: [VARIABLE_COST] € per [UNIT] (product or service). Unit selling price before tax: [SELLING_PRICE] €. 1. Calculate the unit contribution margin: selling price - variable cost. 2. Calculate the break-even point in units: fixed costs / unit contribution margin. 3. Calculate the break-even revenue: break-even units * selling price. 4. Express the result as the number of [UNIT] to sell per month to be profitable. 5. Add a comment: if the volume seems too high, suggest options (reduce fixed costs, increase price, reduce variable costs). 6. Give the corresponding monthly and annual revenue. Provide step-by-step calculations.

Précision : calculez le point mort sur l’année, pas sur le mois, si votre activité est saisonnière (ex. tourisme). Sinon, un mois creux fera croire à une perte. Intégrez aussi toutes les charges variables (commissions, livraison) dans le coût variable unitaire, sinon le seuil est sous-estimé.
