    Trading Fee & Break-Even Calculator

    Every trade starts underwater. This shows how far price has to move before you're flat — and what over-trading quietly costs you across a year.

    Costs scale with frequency, not conviction

    A cost of 0.14% per round turn sounds trivial until you take 40 trades a month. Then it's 67% of one position's size every year, paid before any profit.

    How It Works

    1

    Enter position size

    The notional value of a typical trade.

    2

    Add both commissions

    Entry and exit are charged separately on most venues.

    3

    Add spread and slippage

    Spread is quoted; slippage is what you actually observe in your fills.

    4

    Set your trade frequency

    See the monthly and annual drag your current pace creates.

    Fewer, better trades

    SimpleAlgo V5 confirms signals on the closed candle rather than every tick, which keeps you out of the marginal trades that cost more in fees than they ever return.
