Crypto profit calculator
How the result is calculated
Proceeds = coins × sell price × (1 − fee)
Profit or loss = proceeds − amount invested
Example: $1,000 invested at $60,000 with a 0.1% fee buys 0.01665 BTC. Selling at $66,000 with another 0.1% fee returns about $1,097.80, a profit of about $97.80, or 9.78%. Without fees, the same move would show exactly $100.
Fees you might be missing
- Hidden spreads: instant-buy buttons in apps often include a markup that is not shown as a fee.
- Network fees: withdrawing coins to a wallet costs a blockchain fee.
- Deposit and withdrawal fees: card payments and bank transfers can carry their own charges.
Our guide to trading fees explains each of these.
Taxes
In many countries, selling crypto or swapping one coin for another is a taxable event, and you may need records of every purchase price. The calculator does not include tax. Check your local tax authority's guidance.
Keep perspective
Crypto prices can fall as fast as they rise. Try the calculator with a sell price 30% or 50% below your buy price to see what a typical drawdown would mean for you, then read risk management and our Bitcoin guide.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate crypto profit?
Divide the amount invested (after the buying fee) by the buy price to get the number of coins, multiply by the sell price, subtract the selling fee, then subtract what you originally invested.
Does the calculator work for any coin?
Yes. It only needs prices in US dollars, so it works for Bitcoin, Ether or any other token.
