What is the Break Even Price (BEP)?

Answer

The Break Even Price (BEP) refers to the average buy (in case of a long position) or sell (in case of a short position) price for a financial instrument in your portfolio. It is calculated by taking the net cash paid (long) or received (short) for these shares, divided by the amount of shares bought or sold. Transaction fees and taxes are thus not included in the BEP. 

Accordion

Let's assume you purchase 10 shares of XYZ at €5 per share for a net total of €50. Some time later you purchase 15 additional shares of XYZ for €10 per share for a net total of €150. The calculation of your cost price is then as follows: ((10 x 5)+(15 x 10))/25 = (50+150)/25 = 200/25 = €8 per share.
