How to use this calculator
Find the modeled Steam sales target required to cover development, marketing, and fixed costs.
How the calculation works
- Add fixed costs.
- Set discount-adjusted average selling price and fee assumptions.
- The tool estimates net revenue per copy and copies required to break even.
Formula
Copies to break even = total fixed cost / net revenue per copy.
Example
$105,000 in costs and $9.65 net revenue per copy requires about 10,881 copies to break even.
