Crypto profit calculator

Enter what you put in, the price you bought at and the price you sold (or would sell) at. Fees are applied on the way in and on the way out.

The formula

Coins bought = investment × (1 − fee) ÷ buy price. Proceeds = coins × sell price × (1 − fee). Profit = proceeds − investment, and return = profit ÷ investment. The defaults use Bitcoin's live price ($64,117) as the sell price and 20% below it as the buy price.

What it leaves out: spreads (the gap between buy and sell quotes), withdrawal and network fees, and tax. In most countries a profit on selling crypto is taxable; a loss may be deductible. Check the rules where you live.

Questions

How do I calculate crypto profit?

Multiply the number of coins you hold by the price you sell at, subtract what you paid including fees, and divide by what you paid to get the percentage return.

Do I need to include fees?

Yes — on small or frequent trades they are often the difference between a gain and a loss. Most exchanges charge 0.1%–0.6% per trade, more for instant card purchases.

Not financial advice. Figures are for information and can be delayed or wrong; crypto assets are volatile and you can lose everything you put in. See our methodology and disclaimer.
