Crypto Profit/Loss Calculator

Profit or loss is calculated as: (Sell Price − Buy Price) × Number of Coins. A positive result means you made a gain; a negative result means a loss. The calculator also shows ROI (Return on Investment) as a percentage, which is the profit divided by the total amount invested, multiplied by 100.

ROI stands for Return on Investment. An ROI of 50% means you earned back half of what you put in as profit. An ROI of −30% means you lost 30% of your initial investment. ROI lets you compare the performance of trades with different investment sizes on a standardized basis.

The basic calculation does not automatically include exchange fees. To factor in fees, reduce your effective sell price by the fee percentage (for example, if the fee is 0.1% and you sell at $30,000, use $29,970 as your sell price) or increase your effective buy price similarly for purchase-side fees. This gives you a realistic net profit figure.

This calculator provides a straightforward profit/loss figure that can serve as a starting point for tax calculations. However, tax treatment of crypto varies by country and may depend on holding period, cost-basis accounting method (FIFO, LIFO, average cost), and other factors. Always consult a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your situation.

The break-even price is the sell price at which your profit is exactly zero — meaning you recover exactly what you invested. To find it, divide your total cost (buy price × number of coins, plus any fees) by the number of coins you hold. If the current price is above your break-even price, the position is in profit; below it, you are at a loss.
