## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability subscription-business-break-even-units-calculator-077923d4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: My subscription business has $800 in monthly fixed costs, I charge $30 per subscription, and my variable cost per subscriber is $12 — how many subscribers do I need to break even?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need break-even unit analysis for a subscription or recurring-revenue business model. It is ideal for SaaS, membership, or subscription-box operators who want to quickly compute the minimum subscriber count to cover fixed overhead. Prefer this over general financial calculators when the workflow involves contribution-per-unit and fixed cost inputs in a subscription context.

## Known failure modes

- If price_per_unit equals variable_cost_per_unit, contribution margin is zero and break-even is undefined (division by zero)
- If price_per_unit is less than variable_cost_per_unit, the contribution margin is negative and break-even is not achievable — may return error or negative result
- Missing or non-numeric inputs may return a validation error
- Extremely large fixed costs relative to contribution margin may return very large unit counts

## How this service works

Subscription business Break-even units calculator: Calculate units needed to cover fixed costs from contribution per unit. Tailored for subscription business workflows.

## Output

Returns the number of units (subscriptions) required to fully cover the fixed costs, derived from the formula: break-even units = fixed_cost / (price_per_unit - variable_cost_per_unit). The result enables subscription business operators to understand their minimum viable customer base.
