Break-even chart Revenue Total costs
Which expenses are fixed and which move with sales in an allergy and immunology clinic?
Cost classification
Your monthly break-even will be off if you treat $17.4k of facility overhead as volume-driven or ignore 16.0% first-year revenue-linked costs. Payroll is semi-fixed: first-year wages are about $50.4k/month and step up as providers are hired.

How does break-even change across lean, base, and full clinic setups?
Scenario table
More staff, higher use, and a better payer mix push revenue up faster than fixed cost. That’s why the lean setup still misses break-even, while the base and full setups build a clear monthly cushion.
Planning figures only; actual results will move with referral flow, room use, and reimbursement mix.

What breaks first if patient ramp, payroll, or clinic margins slip?
Stress test
The clinic is most exposed to a slow patient ramp and faster staff hiring. If Year 1 revenue lands at $750,000/month instead of about $807,000/month, it starts $57,000 short, and higher variable costs can widen the gap fast.

Slow ramp plus payroll and waste can overwhelm cash.
Can this clinic fill enough visits before you sign the lease?
Founder checklist
The model breaks even in Month 2, but cash still bottoms at $705K in Month 5, so don’t sign the lease or hire ahead until referrals and booked treatments are real.
1Referral volume$10K/mo rent
Confirm referral sources can feed enough consults, tests, and shots to cover the $10,000 monthly rent before you commit.
2Room flow3 flows
Verify the exam-room layout supports consults, testing, and immunotherapy shot flow so throughput does not stall at the point of care.
3Nurse load400/mo
Check that one Allergy Nurse can handle 400 Year 1 monthly treatments at 75.0% utilization, because staffing has to match booked demand.
4Contribution84% CM
Use Year 1 costs of 4.0% supplies, 5.0% vials, 3.0% billing, and 4.0% marketing to confirm the clinic still clears strong contribution after wages and rent.
5Launch capital$298K
Budget the full $298,000 for build-out, diagnostic equipment, immunotherapy lab gear, EMR setup, furniture, IT, exam-room furnishings, and emergency equipment before opening.
6Cash cushion$705K
Hold enough cash for the Month 5 low point, and keep payer credentialing plus collection timing in cash planning even though they sit outside break-even math.
