The margin of safety is the difference between the amount of expected profitability and the break-even point. The margin of safety formula is equal to current sales minus the break-even point divided by current sales.

In accounting, the margin of safety is calculated by subtracting the break-even point amount from the actual or budgeted sales and then dividing by sales – the result is expressed as a percentage.

Margin of safety =   (Current sales level – break-even point) / Current sales level X 100

The margin of safety formula can also be expressed in dollar amounts and number of units:

Margin of safety in dollars = Current sales – Break-even sales

Margin of safety in units = Current sales units – Break-even point
