Question 1

How is the break-even student count calculated?

Accepted Answer

Break-even students = total monthly expenses ÷ average monthly fee, rounded up. It is the number of enrolled students needed to cover your costs before you make any profit.

Question 2

What counts as a monthly expense?

Accepted Answer

Anything you pay every month to keep the institute running: rent, staff salaries, electricity, internet, water, printing, marketing and any loan or equipment instalments.

Question 3

Should I include my own salary?

Accepted Answer

If you draw a fixed amount from the institute each month, include it under salaries. That gives you a truer picture of whether the business is profitable beyond your own pay.

Question 4

Why is my profit margin low even with many students?

Accepted Answer

High fixed costs — usually rent and salaries — eat the margin. Compare your break-even count against your actual enrolment: if they are close, a small drop in students pushes you into a loss.
