How this calculator works
Practical guide and assumptions
A trade can move in the expected direction and still lose money when spread, commissions, slippage, financing, funding, taxes, and other costs are included.
Formula and method
Net P&L = gross P&L − entered costs. The break-even exit price is the price move needed for gross P&L to cover those costs for the entered position size.
Before using the result
- Use round-trip costs when the position includes both entry and exit.
- Keep all cost inputs in the same currency as gross P&L.
- Verify broker-specific taxes, exchange fees, financing, and minimum charges.
Frequently asked questions
Does the calculator fetch broker fees automatically?
No. You enter the fee assumptions for the specific broker, instrument, account, and jurisdiction you are analysing.
Why is spread a cost even if it is not a separate charge?
The spread is the difference between the available buy and sell prices. It can make the position start with a negative mark-to-market result.
