How to Calculate Crypto Profits?
Calculating your profit or loss in cryptocurrency trading involves more than just subtracting your buy price from your sell price. You must also account for trading fees, which can significantly eat into your profits, especially for frequent traders.
The Formula
Our calculator uses the following logic to give you accurate results:
- Net Investment: Total Investment - Buy Fees
- Coins Purchased: Net Investment / Buy Price
- Gross Return: Coins Purchased × Sell Price
- Net Return: Gross Return - Sell Fees
- Profit/Loss: Net Return - Total Investment
Why Fees Matter
Most exchanges (like Binance, Coinbase, Kraken) charge a fee between 0.1% and 0.5% per trade. While it sounds small, paying 0.1% to buy and 0.1% to sell means you start your trade at a -0.2% loss immediately. Always factor this in!
Common Crypto Terms
- ROI (Return on Investment): The percentage of profit relative to your initial investment.
- Entry Price: The price of the coin when you bought it.
- Exit Price: The price of the coin when you sold it (or plan to sell).
- HODL: A slang term for holding onto a cryptocurrency rather than selling it.
