You’re hustling every day to grow your studio—booking classes, managing staff, and making sure your members keep showing up. But let’s ask a simple question: do you actually know how many students you need just to break even each month?
Most studio owners don’t. And that’s a problem.
Knowing your break-even point isn’t just a “nice-to-have” number—it’s a business-saving metric.
What is the break-even point (and why should you care)?
The break-even point is the minimum number of students or revenue your business needs each month to cover your expenses—without making or losing money. It’s your financial baseline.
If you’re under it, you’re burning cash.
If you’re above it, you’re building profit.
Simple math—powerful impact.
Why studio owners struggle without it
Many studio owners run things by gut feeling or vibes:
• "We had a full class today, so we must be doing well."
• "Revenue seems up this month, so I think we’re good."
But here’s the truth: a full class doesn't mean a profitable month.
You might have 80 students and still be operating at a loss if your expenses are eating away more than you realize. Without a clear break-even benchmark, you’re flying blind.
What goes into your break-even point?
There are two main things:
- Fixed Costs – Rent, instructor payroll, software, insurance, utilities, etc.
- Variable Costs – Costs that increase with each new student: event fees, uniforms, credit card processing, etc.
Once you know your monthly costs, you can figure out exactly how many paying students you need to cover them.
Real talk: once you know your number, everything gets clearer
• You can price your programs with intention
• You’ll know when it’s time to raise rates (or cut costs)
• You’ll set smarter goals
• You’ll spot warning signs before they become emergencies
