About Crypto Profit/Loss Calculator
Quickly figure out how much you made or lost on a crypto trade. Enter your buy price, sell price, and the amount you traded, and the calculator handles the rest, including exchange fees on both sides of the transaction.
How It Works
The calculator multiplies your quantity by the buy and sell prices to get total cost and revenue. It then applies the trading fee percentage to both transactions (since exchanges typically charge on buys and sells) and subtracts the total fees from your gross profit to show your net result.
Understanding Trading Fees
Exchange fees eat into your returns more than most people expect, especially on frequent trades. Use the quick presets (0%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%) to compare how different fee tiers affect your bottom line. If you are dollar cost averaging into a position over time, the DCA Calculator can help you model those regular purchases.
Reading Your Results
Green means profit, red means loss. The ROI percentage tells you how much you earned relative to what you spent. For broader portfolio analysis, the ROI Calculator lets you compare returns across different investments side by side. Everything runs in your browser with no data sent anywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is crypto profit calculated?
Profit equals (sell price x quantity) minus (buy price x quantity) minus total trading fees. The calculator applies the fee percentage to both your buy and sell transactions, since most exchanges charge on each side.
What trading fee should I use?
Most major exchanges charge between 0.1% and 0.5% per trade. Binance and Kraken charge around 0.1% for makers and 0.1-0.26% for takers. Coinbase charges up to 0.6%. Check your exchange's fee schedule for exact rates.
Does this include taxes?
No. This calculator shows your raw profit or loss before any capital gains tax. Tax rules vary by country, so consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
How is ROI calculated here?
ROI is calculated as net profit divided by your total cost basis (purchase cost plus the buy-side fee), multiplied by 100. This gives you the percentage return on the money you actually spent.
Can I use this for any cryptocurrency?
Yes. The calculator works with any crypto asset since it only needs buy price, sell price, and quantity. It works for Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, or any other token.
