contents Understanding exciton-exciton interaction in multiply-excited nanocrystals is crucial to their utilization as functional materials. Yet, for lead halide perovskite nanocrystals, which are promising candidates for nanocrystal-based technologies, numerous contradicting values have been reported for the strength and sign of their exciton-exciton interaction. In this work we unambiguously determine the biexciton binding energy in single cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals at room temperature. This is enabled by the recently introduced SPAD array spectrometer, capable of temporally isolating biexciton-exciton emission cascades while retaining spectral resolution. We demonstrate that CsPbBr$_3$ nanocrystals feature an attractive exciton-exciton interaction, with a mean biexciton binding energy of 10 meV. For CsPbI$_3$ nanocrystals we observe a mean biexciton binding energy that is close to zero, and individual nanocrystals show either weakly attractive or weakly repulsive exciton-exciton interaction. We further show that within ensembles of both materials, single-nanocrystal biexciton binding energies are correlated with the degree of charge-carrier confinement.
