Break-Even Price Calculator
Find the exact sell price you need to break even on a crypto position after both buy and sell fees.
For general estimates only — not financial advice. You enter your own prices; nothing here pulls live market data.
How it works
Break-even isn't just your entry price — fees on the way in and out push it higher. Enter your average entry, the fee you paid buying, and the fee you'll pay selling, and the tool finds the sell price where you walk away flat.
The buy fee raises your real cost per coin, so the calculator marks your entry up by that percentage. The sell fee shrinks whatever you receive, so it grosses the target up again to make sure the after-fee proceeds cover that cost.
Enter a $30,000 entry with 0.5% each way and break-even lands near $30,302 — about 1% above entry. That gap is the price move you need just to cancel out the round-trip fees before any profit begins.
Frequently asked questions
Why is break-even above my entry price?
Because you pay a fee buying and another selling. The price has to rise enough to cover both before you're back to even, so the target always sits above your entry when fees are above zero.
What if I set both fees to zero?
Then your break-even is simply your entry price, since there's nothing extra to recover. The 'uplift needed' drops to zero percent.
Does a bigger position change the break-even price?
No. Break-even per coin depends only on your entry and the fee percentages, not on how many coins you hold. Size changes the dollar amounts, not the price you need.
