Break-Even Price Calculator

Break-even price is the exit level where gross PnL equals round-trip trading fees so net PnL is zero. Long exits must sit above entry; shorts below entry once fees are included.

This calculator uses a per-side fee rate on entry and exit notional. It does not model funding, slippage, or partial fills.

For a long with per-side fee rate f, break-even exit ≈ entry × (1 + f) / (1 − f). Fees on both legs push the required exit above entry even when price unchanged.

Enter f as a decimal after the UI converts human percents (0.04% → 0.0004).

For a short, break-even exit ≈ entry × (1 − f) / (1 + f). You need price to fall far enough to cover fees on entry and exit notional.

Distance from entry is shown as a percent of entry for quick comparison with your take-profit target.

No. Only explicit per-side trading fees on entry and exit notional are included. Funding accrual, borrow interest, and liquidation are out of scope.

Pair this tool with the funding calculator for holding costs and futures PnL for leveraged outcomes.

That usually means fees plus a small target move cannot cover round-trip costs on your size. Widen the target, reduce fees (maker vs taker), or size down.

Use the take-profit or multi take-profit calculators to compare net targets after fees.
