What would your optimum freemium conversion rate need to be?

During the last few weeks I have read a few very interesting blog posts about freemium conversion rates.
As mentioned earlier, the principle of freemium is to give away a product for free to users who find value in the particular product. A certain number of these free users should then be converted into buyers of a premium product.
The articles mention different real world examples of conversion rates.
These inputs can help you form a decision about how high a conversion percentage you might achieve.
If you are considering implementing a freemium model, there is another consideration. How big a conversion rate would I need to break even?
The following download is a calculator that lets you experiment with what your conversion rate would need to be.

In this version, you can only plot in one complimentary product. In version 1.1 you will be able to pilot in several complimentary products.
