Frequently Asked Questions

How is crypto profit or loss calculated?

+

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.

What is ROI and how do I interpret it?

+

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.

Does this calculator account for trading fees?

+

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.

Can I use this for tax reporting purposes?

+

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.

What is the break-even price for a trade?

+

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.
