About Crypto Profit Calculator

Calculate cryptocurrency trading profits. This calculator provides instant results with step-by-step explanations to help you understand the calculation process.

How to use this calculator

1. Enter the buy price, sell price, and quantity for your trade.
2. Add any fees or costs that apply to the trade.
3. Calculate the difference between sell price and buy price.
4. Multiply that difference by the quantity, then subtract the fees.

The formula explained

• \(\text{profit}\) = net trading profit or loss
• \(\text{sell price}\) = price per coin when you sell
• \(\text{buy price}\) = price per coin when you buy
• \(\text{quantity}\) = number of coins or units traded
• \(\text{fees}\) = total trading fees and other costs

Step by step method

1. Start with the price you paid and the price you received when selling.
2. Find the price change per coin by subtracting the buy price from the sell price.
3. Scale that change by the number of coins traded.
4. Subtract all fees to get the final net profit or loss.

Worked example

Here is a simple example of buying and later selling the same crypto asset with a small trading fee.

1. Suppose you buy 2 coins at \(\$150\) each and later sell them at \(\$180\) each.
2. The price difference is \(\$180 - \$150 = \$30\) per coin, so the gross gain is \(30 \times 2 = \$60\).
3. If your total fees are \(\$6\), the net profit is \(\$60 - \$6 = \$54\).

Tips and common mistakes

• Use the total fees for the whole trade, not a per coin fee unless that is how the tool asks for it.
• Check that your quantity is in coins, tokens, or units that match the prices you entered.
• A negative result means a loss, not a profit.
• Include all costs you want reflected in the final number, such as exchange fees or network fees.
