How to use this crypto profit calculator
- Amount invested – the total you spent, including the fee. If you paid $1,000 on the exchange, enter 1000.
- Buy price – the price per coin when you bought.
- Sell price – the price you sold at, or a target price you are thinking about.
- Fees – the trading fee your exchange charges, in percent. Leave 0 if you want to ignore fees.
The result updates as you type. Green means profit, red means loss.
The formula
Fees are taken twice: once when you buy (you receive slightly fewer coins) and once when you sell (you receive slightly less money). The calculator works it out like this:
Worked example
You invest $1,000 in Bitcoin at $60,000 and sell at $75,000. Your exchange charges 0.1% on each side.
- Coins bought: $999 ÷ 60,000 = 0.01665 BTC
- Sale value: 0.01665 × 75,000 = $1,248.75, minus 0.1% fee = $1,247.50
- Net profit: $1,247.50 − $1,000 = $247.50 (24.75% ROI)
- Break-even price: about $60,120
The price went up 25%, but your profit is 24.75%. That small gap is the fees.
Profit with leverage (futures and margin)
Set leverage above 1x, or pick Short, and the calculator switches to a margin trade. The amount you enter becomes your margin, and the position is margin × leverage. Fees are charged on the full position, which is why they bite much harder with leverage.
You open a 10x long with $1,000 margin at $60,000 and close at $63,000. Fees are 0.05% to open and to close.
- Position: $1,000 × 10 = $10,000, which is 0.1667 BTC
- Price move: +5%, so the position gains $500
- Fees: $5.00 to open + $5.25 to close = $10.25
- Net profit: $489.75, which is +48.98% ROE on your $1,000
- Estimated liquidation: about $54,300 (−9.5%)
ROE (return on equity) is the percentage most exchanges show on open positions. It is your profit divided by your margin, not by the position size.

Why fees matter more than you think
On a single trade, 0.1% looks like nothing. But if you trade often, it adds up fast. Ten round trips at 0.1% per side cost you about 2% of your capital, even if every trade breaks even on price.
Fees also differ a lot by how you buy. Typical ranges:
| How you buy | Typical fee per trade |
|---|---|
| Spot trading (maker/taker) | 0.1% – 0.6% |
| "Instant buy" / simple buy button | 0.5% – 2%+ |
| Card purchase | 2% – 4% |
These are rough ranges. Always check your exchange's current fee page, because fees change and often depend on your trading volume.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate crypto profit?
Divide your investment (minus the buy fee) by the buy price to get the number of coins. Multiply the coins by the sell price, subtract the sell fee, then subtract what you originally invested. What is left is your net profit.
Does the calculator include exchange fees?
Yes. Enter the buy and sell fee as a percentage. Set them to 0 if you want the result without fees.
What is the break-even price?
The sell price at which your profit is exactly zero after both fees. Because you pay a fee on the way in and on the way out, it is always slightly above your buy price.
I bought at several different prices. What do I enter?
Use your average buy price. You can find it with the crypto average price calculator, then enter it here as the buy price.
Can I calculate a short or a leveraged trade?
Yes. Choose Short or set the leverage above 1x. The amount becomes your margin, the position is margin × leverage, and the result shows ROE and the estimated liquidation price. If your exit price is past the liquidation price, the calculator shows that you would lose the whole margin.
What is ROE?
Return on equity: your profit divided by the margin you put in. With 10x leverage, a 5% price move gives about 50% ROE before fees.
Does this calculate taxes?
No. Crypto tax rules are different in every country, so the result is your profit before tax.
