Key concepts for Singapore businesses
What is break-even analysis?
Break-even analysis determines the point at which your total revenue equals your total costs, meaning you are neither making a profit nor incurring a loss. It tells you how many units you need to sell to cover all fixed and variable costs. This is essential for business planning, pricing decisions, and understanding minimum viability in Singapore's competitive market.
Fixed costs in Singapore
Common fixed costs for Singapore businesses include: office/shop rent (often the largest cost component), employee salaries (including CPF contributions), business insurance, accounting fees, and ACRA annual filing fees. These costs remain constant regardless of your sales volume.
GST in break-even calculations
If your business is GST-registered (turnover above $1M), remember that your selling price to consumers includes 9% GST. For break-even calculations, use GST-exclusive figures to get accurate results, as GST collected is remitted to IRAS and is not actual revenue.
