The Margin of safety is the excess of budgeted or actual sales dollars over the break-even volume of sales dollars. It is the amount by which sales can drop before losses are incurred.
The formula for margin of safety is:
Margin of safety = total budgeted ( or actual) sales - break-even sales
Margin of safety % = margin of safety in dollars divided by the total budgeted ( or actual ) sales in dollars
