breakeven
Neither gain nor lose
Breakeven is the point at which gains equal losses, resulting in neither profit nor loss.
A business reaches breakeven when revenue covers all costs: We need to sell 500 units to break even.
As an adjective, it describes this threshold: breakeven point, breakeven analysis.
Often written as two words when used as a verb phrase.
