How to calculate crypto break-even
Crypto break-even is the exit level where net profit becomes zero after fees, spread, slippage and fixed costs. This calculator solves the exit price needed to offset all modeled trade friction.
Core formulas
Gross profit (long) = (Exit - Entry) × Quantity
Gross profit (short) = (Entry - Exit) × Quantity
Net result = Gross profit - Total modeled costs
Required move % = (Break-even - Entry) ÷ Entry × 100
Worked examples
Long break-even
Buy BTC at €45,000 with fees, spread and slippage. Break-even sits above the entry because price must rise enough to offset all costs.
Short break-even
Open a short at €45,000. Break-even is lower than entry because the market must move downward enough to cover all modeled costs.
Target profit
If you want a €1,000 net profit after costs, the calculator solves the exact exit price needed to reach that result.
Why fees, spread and slippage matter
On low-volatility trades, fee drag can be the difference between a profitable exit and a loss. Break-even is often much higher than traders expect because both entry friction and exit friction matter.
This is why a raw price target is often less useful than a net break-even target.
