Find the units or revenue you need to cover fixed costs, and how much margin of safety you have at your current volume.

Contribution margin = price - variable cost. Break-even units = fixed costs / contribution margin. Margin of safety = (current volume - break-even volume) / current volume.
Then there is no break-even point. Every additional unit increases the loss, so volume cannot rescue it. Price or cost has to change first, which is why the calculator says never rather than printing a large number.
Salaried staff you keep regardless of volume are fixed. Crew you hire per job, or per-hour labor that scales with output, is variable. Getting this split wrong is the most common reason a break-even number looks reassuring and is not.
