About statement import
We're starting with IC Securities.
Every broker charges differently, and we only show numbers we can get exactly right. So we began with one: IC Securities on the Ghana Stock Exchange. Other brokers are next.

Investing is hard enough. Knowing what it costs shouldn't be.
Most investors know the price they paid. Far fewer know the price they need to sell at to get that money back. The gap is made of fees. We built Breakeven to close it.

Questions, answered.
What is a break-even price?
Your break-even price is the lowest price you can sell a holding at and get back everything you paid, after the fees on the buy and the fees on the sale. Because selling has fees too, it's higher than the price you paid. For example, 125 MTN Ghana shares bought at GHS 6.50 through IC Securities break even at GHS 6.80.
Why isn't a 20% price rise a 20% profit?
Fees come off when you buy and again when you sell, and both have to be covered before any profit is yours. On 125 MTN Ghana shares bought at GHS 6.50, a 20% rise to GHS 7.80 leaves a 14.7% profit after fees. A true 20% profit needs GHS 8.16, a 25.5% rise.
How are fees calculated on the GSE with IC Securities?
Each trade pays four statutory levies (CSD 0.15%, SEC 0.15%, GSE 0.35%, market development 0.05%) plus brokerage. The total rate falls with the size of the trade: 2.50% up to GHS 500, 2.25% up to GHS 5,000, 2.00% up to GHS 10,000 and 1.75% above that. Each charge is rounded to the pesewa separately.
Is Breakeven investment advice?
No. Breakeven is a calculator and tracking tool. It shows facts about your own holdings after fees and alerts you at levels you choose. It doesn't recommend buying, selling or holding anything.
Does Breakeven trade for me or connect to my brokerage account?
No. Breakeven never places trades, never connects to your brokerage account and never holds your money. It only uses the statement you upload or the trades you enter.
Which brokers and markets does Breakeven support?
We're starting with IC Securities on the Ghana Stock Exchange, including statements from its IC Wealth app. Other GSE brokers are next, then more markets. Tell us which broker you use at support@breakeven.live and it helps us decide where to go next.
