Crypto Profit Calculator
Calculate gross and net crypto profit, ROI, fees, and sale proceeds in seconds—without installing an app or creating an account.
Estimates only. Confirm the final quote and all costs on your trading platform.
THREE QUICK STEPS
How to Use This Calculator
- 1
Enter both prices
Add your average purchase price and expected or completed sale price. Use the same quote currency for both values.
- 2
Add quantity and fees
Enter the number of coins and select a symbol. Replace the default 0.1% fee with the rate for your platform and account tier.
- 3
Review the net result
Use net profit and ROI for the clearest view. Then account separately for spread, network, withdrawal, funding, and tax costs that apply to you.
WORKED EXAMPLE
Example Trade: Buy $1,000 of BTC
Suppose BTC trades at $40,000 and you buy 0.025 BTC, a $1,000 position before fees. You later sell at $45,000. With a 0.1% trading fee charged at entry and exit:
Gross sale proceeds = $45,000 × 0.025 = $1,125Gross profit = $1,125 − $1,000 = $125Total fees = ($1,000 + $1,125) × 0.1% = $2.13Net profit = $125 − $2.13 = $122.88ROI = $122.88 ÷ $1,001 × 100 = 12.28%The 12.5% asset price increase produces a slightly lower net return after fees. A spread or cash-withdrawal charge would reduce it further, so compare the platform’s final payout rather than relying only on market price.
SPOT OR DERIVATIVE?
Spot Profit vs Futures Profit: Which to Calculate?
Spot profit comes from owning an asset and selling it at a different price. The main inputs are cost basis, sale proceeds, quantity, and fees. There is no leveraged liquidation in a simple spot purchase, although the asset can still lose most of its market value.
A futures position is a derivative contract that may be long or short and usually uses margin. Margin ROI, liquidation, funding payments, and leverage become essential. If your trade uses a perpetual or dated contract, switch to our crypto futures profit calculator. Do not model a leveraged trade as a normal spot purchase.
THE COST YOU CONTROL
How Exchange Fees Affect Your Real Profit
A trading fee applies to notional value, not to profit. This means you can owe a fee even when a trade loses money. On a $10,000 entry and $10,000 exit, a 0.1% fee per side costs about $20. Ten round trips at the same size would cost roughly $200 before spread, slippage, withdrawals, or tax.
Maker and taker rates may differ, and high-volume tiers can reduce fees. A “zero commission” interface may instead widen the spread between market and quoted price. Review the complete execution preview. For an honest comparison, calculate dollars paid at entry, dollars received at exit, and every cost between them.
Run the same trade at 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1%. If the decision changes, fee shopping and order selection matter as much as the target price.
PROFIT CALCULATOR FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate crypto profit?
Subtract total purchase cost and fees from total sale proceeds. In formula form: net profit = (sell price × quantity) − (buy price × quantity) − entry fee − exit fee.
What fee rate should I enter?
Enter the actual trading fee for your account tier. The default is 0.1% per side. Spreads, network fees, withdrawal fees, and taxes are separate unless you add them to your costs manually.
What is ROI in crypto?
ROI is return on investment: net profit divided by total purchase cost, multiplied by 100. A negative result indicates an estimated loss.
Does the calculator support altcoins?
Yes. The selector contains more than 200 symbols, and the formula is the same for any asset quoted in US dollars.
Does this calculator include tax?
No. Tax treatment depends on jurisdiction, holding period, cost-basis method, and personal circumstances. Consult a qualified local professional.
