What This Calculates
Break-even exit price after trading fees.
Formula
Break-even sell price = entry price x (1 + entry fee rate) / (1 - exit fee rate)
Example
With a 100 entry, 0.1% entry fee, and 0.1% exit fee, the break-even sell price is about 100.20.
Notes Before You Use It
- Funding fees, borrow costs, slippage, and taxes are not included.
- Maker and taker fees can differ, so use the rate that matches your order type.
- For very small trades, minimum fee rules may matter more than percentage fees.
FAQ
Why is break-even above my entry price?
Because both entry and exit fees reduce net proceeds. The exit price must cover those costs before profit begins.
Can I use this for futures?
You can use it for fee planning, but futures also need funding and margin calculations.
What if I receive a maker rebate?
Use a negative fee rate for the rebate, then verify the result against your exchange statement.
