Explore a project scenario
Change the assumptions about demand, capacity and costs. Compare three conditional outcomes in your browser.

Before the first investment.
Change the assumptions to see what constrains the project. All values below are an illustrative example that you can replace with your own data.
The calculation runs in your browser. Form data is not sent to the server.
Revenue minus variable and fixed costs.
In this conditional scenario, revenue covers the stated costs.
Payback is conditional: it assumes the monthly balance is available to repay the investment, with no payment delays or working capital requirements.
How the model works and what it excludes
The model allows divisible volumes; enter whole quantities for discrete products. Sales = the minimum of demand and capacity. Balance = sales × (price − variable cost) − fixed costs. With a positive margin, break-even = fixed costs / (price − variable cost). With zero margin and zero fixed costs, the balance is zero at any volume. With a negative margin and zero fixed costs, it is zero only with no sales. Simple payback = investment / a positive monthly balance.
Taxes, financing, price changes, inventory, seasonality and ramp-up are excluded. The three scenarios compare assumptions; they are not a probabilistic forecast. This public calculation demo was prepared for the website and does not replace the reference BSI Scenario Engine.
Modelling does not constitute a forecast, project approval or authority to launch.
