Bouquet Sales Break‑even

Calculate how many bouquets cover your annual fixed costs using your selling price, direct cost and VAT settings.

Worked example: annual break-even

2,000 bouquets / year

£60,000 annual fixed costs ÷ £30 contribution per bouquet

Per month
167 bouquets

£12,024 revenue

Per week
39 bouquets

£2,808 revenue

Per opening day
7 bouquets

£504 revenue

Example inputs: £72 selling price including 20% VAT, £30 direct cost excluding VAT, and 6 opening days per week.

Each period rounds up to whole bouquets. Revenue includes VAT in this example.

Check how a change in selling price or direct cost affects break-even.

How It Works

Enter one set of bouquet costs and prices, then calculate targets across the year.

1

Step 1

Enter Your Annual Fixed Costs

Add up yearly rent, rates, salaries, insurance, software and other costs that do not rise with each bouquet sold. Enter that annual total.

  • Use the operating cost calculator to help total your costs
  • Keep salaries in fixed costs so the same wages are not counted twice
  • Change the total and calculate again when your costs change

Illustrative annual costs

Rent + rates£18,000
Salaries£36,000
Other fixed costs£6,000
Annual total to enter£60,000

Step 2

Work Out Contribution Per Bouquet

Enter your average selling price and the direct cost of one bouquet. When VAT is enabled, the calculator removes it from the selling price before subtracting direct costs.

  • Include flowers, sundries and other costs that arise with each bouquet
  • Set VAT registration and the rate included in your selling price
  • See how much each sale contributes towards fixed costs
Worked example: contribution per bouquet
Selling price including 20% VAT£72
Selling price excluding VAT£60
Direct cost excluding VAT£30
Contribution per bouquet£30

The £30 contribution goes towards fixed costs. It is not the final profit on the bouquet.

Calculate Targets For Your Opening Schedule

Add your opening days per week and, if useful, hours per day. Select Calculate Break-Even to see the annual, monthly, weekly and daily bouquet quantities.

  • Add opening hours to see an hourly target
  • Review revenue and direct costs for monthly, weekly and daily targets
  • Save a named calculation and reopen it when you need it

The calculator uses 52 weeks per year.

£504 revenue · £210 direct costs

  • Annual, monthly, weekly and daily bouquet targets
  • Contribution per bouquet after VAT and direct costs
  • Optional hourly target from your opening schedule
  • Revenue and direct costs for monthly, weekly and daily targets
  • Named calculations you can save and reopen
