Quick answer
Enter the cash you plan to use, the entry price, and the expected exit price. The calculator returns net profit and ROI immediately. Keep leverage at 1x for a normal spot purchase.
Fees can flip a small apparent gain into a loss. Open the cost section and use the fee tier shown by your exchange rather than leaving the sample values untouched.
How to use it
- 1Choose long if you benefit from price rising, or short if you benefit from it falling.
- 2Enter the cash committed and use 1x leverage for spot. For a margin trade, enter the leverage shown in the order ticket.
- 3Type the entry and exit prices. Add both trading fees, then include funding, gas, spread, or borrowing costs you expect to pay.
- 4Read net profit, return on cash, and break-even price. Stress-test the exit price before relying on the estimate.
Formula and method
For a long, gross profit equals quantity multiplied by exit price minus entry price. A short reverses that price difference. Quantity equals cash invested multiplied by leverage, divided by entry price.
Net profit equals gross profit minus entry fee, exit fee, funding, and other costs. Return on cash divides net profit by the cash committed. The calculator uses full position notional for percentage trading fees.
Worked example
A $1,000 spot purchase at $60,000 buys 0.01666667 BTC before fees. Selling at $72,000 produces $200 of gross profit.
With a 0.10% fee at entry and exit, trading fees are $2.20. Net profit becomes $197.80, or 19.78% on the original $1,000. A market order can land at a different price, especially in a thin order book.
Limits to know
- Liquidation is excluded here. Use the leverage calculator for a simplified liquidation estimate.
- Funding is entered as one dollar amount. Actual perpetual funding accrues at exchange-specific intervals and can be positive or negative.
- Taxes, token emissions, rebates, and currency conversion are excluded.
- The result is deterministic math based on your inputs; it does not forecast price or confirm available liquidity.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate crypto profit?
Multiply the number of coins by the change between exit and entry price, then subtract trading fees, funding, gas, spreads, and any other costs.
Does the calculator include fees?
Yes. Entry and exit fees are percentages of each side's notional value. You can also add funding and fixed costs such as gas.
How does leverage affect crypto profit?
Leverage multiplies the position size supported by your cash margin. A 5x position creates about five times the price exposure, along with larger gains, losses, fees, and liquidation risk.
What is the break-even price?
It is the exit price where gross trading profit exactly covers the costs entered in the calculator. Real execution can differ because of spread and slippage.
