Break Even Calculator
The price your stock must reach to recover cost including charges.
Know your break-even
Charges mean you don’t break even at your buy price — you break even a little higher. Knowing that level helps you set realistic targets and avoid selling at a hidden loss.
The formula
Break-even = (buy price × qty × (1 + charges%)) ÷ qty. It is simply your buy price plus the per-share cost of charges.
