How crypto profit is calculated
Gross profit is simply (sell − buy) × amount. But you pay a fee when you buy and again when you sell, so your net profit is lower. This calculator subtracts a fee on both sides (default 0.1%) and shows your ROI as a percentage of what you actually invested. For a leveraged position's profit including funding, use the real futures profit calculator or PnL / ROE. Before you enter, size the trade with the position size calculator and check your liquidation price.
FAQ
How do I calculate crypto profit?
Profit = (sell price − buy price) × amount of coins, minus trading fees on both the buy and the sell. ROI % = profit ÷ the amount you invested. This calculator does it including fees.
Does this include trading fees?
Yes. Enter your fee per side (default 0.1%) and the calculator subtracts fees on both entry and exit to show your real net profit and ROI.
Spot profit is simpler than futures but fees still cut into it
Buy 1 ETH at $2,000, sell at $2,400 — profit is $400, or 20%. Add a 0.1% buy fee ($2) and 0.1% sell fee ($2.40), take-home is $395.60. Not life-changing, but at scale or high frequency it matters.
A lower fee tier keeps more of every trade's profit in your pocket:
Capital gains tax is the other thing people forget to model. In most countries the $400 profit is taxable at income or capital gains rates. After a 30% effective tax rate, $400 becomes $280 in actual purchasing power gained. Some jurisdictions tax unrealized gains, some only on disposal — worth knowing before you celebrate the number on screen.
For futures profit the math is different: profit = (exit − entry) ÷ entry × notional. Collateral isn't the base — notional is. Use the PnL calculator for leveraged positions.
