It's a useful tool because it shows you at what point your revenue will start covering all expenses. That way, you know how much you need to sell to avoid losing money, and it can help in setting sales goals. It's a good way to decide how much to charge for your product.

Break-even analysis helps businesses decide what their minimum sales volume needs to be to cover all fixed and variable costs. It's better than pricing based on competitor prices, or even worse, guessing. It's more accurate, at least.
If you want your business to stay afloat, you've got to cover those costs. This helps you consider those costs when price setting.

It helps you see how much you need to sell to make sure you're not losing money. It's like finding the "break-even point" where your income just covers your costs. Super helpful when planning your business or checking if a new product is worth it.
