📊 High-Low Method Calculator – Simplify Fixed & Variable Cost Estimation

Looking for a smarter way to analyze business costs? Whether you're a student, entrepreneur, accountant, or financial planner, the High-Low Method Calculator helps you break down mixed costs into fixed and variable components—fast and accurately.

✅ Perfect for budgeting, cost control, and pricing decisions, this app streamlines one of the most useful cost estimation techniques in managerial accounting: the High-Low Method.
📘 What is the High-Low Method?

The High-Low Method is a simple cost accounting formula used to estimate variable cost per unit and fixed cost from a set of mixed costs. By analyzing your highest and lowest activity levels (like units produced or hours worked), you can quickly understand cost behavior without complex software.

Formula Used:

Variable Cost per Unit = (Cost at High Activity – Cost at Low Activity) / (High Activity – Low Activity)
Fixed Cost = Total Cost – (Variable Cost × Activity Level)

🛠️ How It Works

Enter High Activity & Cost: Provide your highest activity level and the corresponding cost.

Enter Low Activity & Cost: Do the same for the lowest activity and cost.

Tap Calculate: Instantly get the estimated variable cost per unit and fixed cost.
