Why Break-Even Price Matters More Than Entry Price
Most traders track their entry price — but the number that actually determines profitability is the break-even price: the minimum sell price at which you recover your full investment after fees.
On platforms like Binance (0.1% maker/taker), a round trip costs 0.2% — meaning if you buy and sell at the same price, you lose money. This calculator shows the exact price you need to reach to not lose anything.
Formula: Effective Buy = Entry × (1 + Buy Fee%). Break-Even = Effective Buy ÷ (1 − Sell Fee%).
