Break-Even Analysis Calculator

Compare LCL vs FCL costs and find the optimal shipping method. Analyse air vs sea freight trade-offs including inventory holding costs.

LCL vs FCL Analysis

The break-even comparison is currency-agnostic — make sure all rate inputs (LCL, FCL, freight, holding cost) are in the same currency you selected above.

📌 Enter the rates you've been quoted by your freight forwarder (or your historical shipping costs) to find the break-even volume between LCL and FCL. The values below are not Wharvex rates — for an accurate Wharvex quote, use the Shipping Cost Calculator or request an RFQ.

Air vs Sea Freight Analysis (Optional)

Include inventory holding costs to determine the true cost difference between air and sea freight

Break-even analysis: inputs, method and limitations

Use this calculator to organise a planning scenario and understand how its inputs affect the result. It is most useful when you keep a record of the units, dates and service assumptions. For break-even analysis, the information you enter should describe the actual requirement rather than an idealised example.

Prepare the inputs

Collect fixed costs, variable cost per unit, selling price and the quantity basis for your scenario. Check that the measurements and quantities use consistent units. If a value is unknown, label it as an assumption and revisit the result when confirmed information becomes available.

Interpret the result

Keep one-off costs separate from costs that vary with each unit. Use consistent currency and tax assumptions, then compare scenarios when selling price, demand or unit costs change.

Check before relying on the estimate

The result depends on the inputs and does not forecast demand or cash flow. Check payment timing, inventory commitments and costs outside the model before making a commercial decision.

Questions before you proceed

Can I use the result as a confirmed offer?
No. A calculator explains the scenario entered. Ask the responsible provider to confirm the applicable service, method, terms and final commercial offer.
How should I compare two scenarios?
Change one assumption at a time, keep the units and calculation boundaries consistent, and record why the input changed. Confirm the preferred scenario against the actual goods and service requirements.
