I have tried to compute the breakeven sales by taking the fixed costs/contribution margin
The gross profit is the sales - variable costs. I computed the Contribution margin by taking the gross profit/sales x 100
I have attached my sample data as it is giving me an incorrect breakeven sales. However If I use Goal Seek, the Sales is 436000, which we then show a zero Net profit
It would be appreciated if someone could check my formula and advise

resolved my problem in computing the estimated Net Profit using data tables.
My Breakeven was 100% but I was getting an incorrect answer when computing forecasted Net Profit based on increased sales data when using a data table.
My Contribution margin was 27.1111% (GP %)
To resolve the problem regarding the incorrect forecasted net profit , I set my variable costs to be Sales * (1-0.271111) and now I get correct forecasted net profit0
