What Is the Break-Even Price?
The break-even price represents the point at which your total cost matches your total proceeds so you neither gain nor lose money. The break-even price serves as a critical piece of information for controlling exits and averaging down investments and establishing practical profit goals.
The actual break-even price for your shares goes beyond the initial purchase price because it represents the weighted average of all your past purchases. The stock break-even calculator provides a fast method to calculate your final break-even amount.
How to Use the Break-Even Calculator
The following steps will guide you through break-even calculation:
- Enter your purchase prices and the number of shares (or units) bought at each level.
- Include any fees or commissions if applicable.
- Click calculate — the tool will show your exact break-even price.
The tool becomes particularly useful when you have added to a losing position or bought in multiple tranches.
Why Break-Even Matters
The knowledge of your break-even point enables you to make better decisions about exiting trades. The tool helps you stay focused while eliminating emotional factors from your trading decisions. Investors tend to maintain losing positions for extended periods because they lack awareness about their actual break-even point.
The calculator provides essential data for tracking performance no matter if you trade stocks or crypto or ETFs.
