How to use the Break Even Calculator

Trading cryptocurrency involves exchange fees, which can eat into your profits. The Break Even Calculator helps you determine the exact price your asset needs to reach simply to cover your initial investment and all trading fees involved in the buy and sell process.

Calculation Formula

The break-even price represents the exact point where your revenue equals your original cost plus all exchange fees generated from buying and selling.

Mathematical Formula
Break Even =
Cost + (Cost × Buy Fee %)Amount × (1 - Sell Fee %)

Why Fees Matter

Even minor fee chunks like 0.1% for buying and 0.1% for selling might seem small, but on larger volumes, they become significant. By calculating the break-even price, you establish a baseline below which you shouldn't sell if your goal is not to lose money.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a maker/taker fee?

Exchanges often charge different fees depending on whether you provide liquidity (maker) or take it (taker). Check your exchange's fee schedule and enter the appropriate percentage here.

How accurate is this?

This calculator uses exact mathematical formulas up to 6 decimal places, making it extremely reliable for standard spot trading without leverage.

Does this account for slippage?

No, it only factors in exchange trading fees. Slippage depends on market liquidity at the time of your order execution and varies based on your position size.
