A LITTLE MATH. MORE CLARITY.

Know the numbers
behind a contract.

See exactly what a binary contract costs, what it pays at settlement, and how fees change the break-even probability.

Your assumptions

USD

Enter the total known fees, including any settlement fee. The same amount is assumed in both outcomes.

How to read the result

Your purchase price multiplied by the number of contracts, plus fees, is your total cost. A winning settlement pays $1 per contract. A losing settlement pays $0. Break-even probability is total cost divided by the winning payout; above 100% means even a winning settlement loses money under these assumptions.
