What is Break-Even Price Calculator?

A Break-Even Price Calculator is a simple yet essential tool that helps investors and traders determine the exact price at which their investment starts to make a profit. At KTrade, we understand that knowing your break-even point is key to managing risk and planning smarter trades.

Our Break-Even Price Calculator shows you the minimum price your stock must reach to recover your total cost, including brokerage fees and commissions. It gives you a clear picture of when your investment will turn profitable, allowing you to make confident and informed trading decisions.

Whether you are a short-term trader or a long-term investor, understanding your break-even level helps you protect your capital and set realistic price targets.

How Does the Break-Even Price Calculator Work?

KTrade’s Break-Even Price Calculator uses a straightforward calculation. You only need to enter:

  • The purchase price per share
  • The number of shares purchased
  • The commission or brokerage rate (if applicable)

Formula:

Break-Even Price = (Total Cost of Investment) / (Number of Shares)

Where:

  • Total Cost of Investment = (Purchase Price × Number of Shares) + Total Commission or Fees

Example:
If you buy 1,000 shares at PKR 50 each and pay a total commission of PKR 500, your total investment cost is:

Total Cost = (50 × 1,000) + 500 = PKR 50,500

Your break-even price will be:

Break-Even Price = 50,500 / 1,000 = PKR 50.50 per share

This means you need to sell your shares at PKR 50.50 or higher to start making a profit.
