Contribution is selling price less variable job cost and sale-linked fees. Fixed overhead is then recovered from that contribution.
Use break-even as a capacity check
If the business needs more jobs to break even than it can realistically complete, the model is signalling a structural problem: price may be too low, variable cost too high or fixed overhead too heavy for the current capacity.
Break-even is not a profit target. It is the point at which the modelled contribution covers fixed overhead.
