Break-even calculator
Every trade costs something before it even moves. Enter your entry price, position size, and costs to see what price move is needed before it turns into a profit.
This calculation is pure math and applies regardless of the instrument.
More on trading costs in the lesson Every fee that eats into your return.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as the cost of a trade?
The spread between the buy and sell price, any broker commission, and for leveraged positions, overnight financing costs as well.
Why is break-even already a milestone, not a profit?
Because at break-even, the costs have just been earned back. Nothing is left for the time spent, the research, or the risk taken on.
