Break-Even Calculator
Enter your initial investment, buy price, and optional fees and slippage. See the sell price you need to break even — for stocks, crypto, forex, or any asset. Results update instantly.
How to use
Enter your initial investment, buy price per share or unit, and optionally trading fees and slippage %. The tool shows the sell price at which you neither gain nor lose (break-even). If you add slippage, it shows the price you must target so that after slippage you still break even.
Optional. Enter 0 if none.
Optional. Expected shortfall when you sell.
Instant estimate
Estimates only. Fees and slippage vary by broker and market.
How break-even is calculated
Shares = initial investment ÷ buy price. Total cost = initial investment + fees. Break-even sell price = total cost ÷ shares. So you need to sell at or above that price to recover your money. If you expect slippage (e.g. you get 0.5% less than the quoted price when you sell), the calculator shows the higher price you must target so that after slippage you still receive enough to break even.
