Scaling into positions on Kraken
Kraken shows your average entry price in the positions panel, but it calculates it differently if you include funding PnL in the display. This calculator uses pure weighted average of fills: the same math that determines your actual break-even price independent of unrealized PnL display.
When scaling into a position on Kraken, each additional buy at a different price changes your average entry. Enter each fill separately to see your true weighted average and the exact price you need to be in profit after fees.
Kraken fee structure
Kraken charges maker fee 0.02% and taker fee 0.05% on perpetual futures. Maximum available leverage is 50×. This calculator pre-fills these defaults so you get accurate results without needing to look up the fee schedule. If you are on a VIP tier with discounted fees, adjust the fee fields accordingly.
Maker orders (limit orders that add liquidity) cost less than taker orders (market orders that remove liquidity). On Kraken, using limit orders for both entry and exit can reduce your total fee cost significantly compared to market orders.
