What the numbers on a holding mean

Break-even, total cost, last close and profit after fees, explained.

Updated 19 October 2026. 1 min read.

Short answer

Break-even is the lowest price that gets your money back after every fee. Total cost includes your buying fees. Profit after fees is what you'd make selling everything at the last close.

Figure	What it means
Break-even, price only	The lowest price you can sell all your shares at and get back everything you paid, after the selling fees too.
Break-even with dividends	The same, counting the dividends you've received after withholding tax.
Total cost, fees included	Everything you paid for the shares you hold, including buying fees.
Last close	The stock's most recent closing price.
If sold at last close	Your profit or loss after fees if you sold everything at that close.
Realized so far	Profit or loss on shares you've already sold.

The ruler at the top shows the same thing visually: what you paid, where fees put your break-even, the last close and any target you set. The shaded stretch is the price rise that goes to fees.
