Break-Even Price: $60,118.92What Is a Crypto Profit Calculator?
A crypto profit calculator helps you quickly determine your trading profit or loss on any cryptocurrency position. Enter the price you bought at, the price you plan to sell at, your initial investment (or coin quantity), and exchange fees — and you'll instantly see your profit or loss in dollar terms, your ROI percentage, and the exact break-even price you need to cover all costs.
Whether you're trading Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any altcoin, this tool removes the guesswork. It accounts for both buy-side and sell-side exchange fees, supports 8 popular coins plus any custom token, and optionally calculates capital-gains tax to show you your real after-tax take-home.
How to Use This Calculator
Choose your input mode
"By Investment" lets you enter the total fiat you're spending (e.g. $1,000). "By Quantity" lets you enter the exact number of coins you're buying (e.g. 0.015 BTC). Both modes produce identical results — choose whichever matches how you think about your trade.
Enter buy and sell prices
Enter the price you bought (or plan to buy) at, and the target price you want to sell at. Use live exchange data for current prices, or enter hypothetical prices to model "what if" scenarios before you trade.
Select your exchange fees
Click a preset to autofill fees for popular exchanges (Binance 0.1%, Coinbase 0.6%, Kraken 0.26%), or enter custom buy/sell fee percentages. Exchange fees reduce your profit on both sides — they're especially significant for frequent traders.
Read your results
You'll see your profit/loss in dollar terms, your ROI%, the number of coins purchased, and the break-even price. Optionally add your capital-gains tax rate to see after-tax net profit. The step-by-step breakdown shows exactly how the calculation was performed.
The Crypto Profit Formula
Profit / Loss
P&L = Net Revenue − Total Cost
Net Revenue = Coins × Sell Price × (1 − Sell Fee%)
Total Cost = Investment × (1 + Buy Fee%)The core calculation. Both fees reduce your outcome from opposite ends — buy fees inflate your cost, sell fees deflate your revenue. Missing either fee makes your profit estimate inaccurate.
ROI (Return on Investment)
ROI = (P&L ÷ Total Cost) × 100
Expressed as a percentage
Positive = profit, Negative = lossROI tells you how efficiently your capital is working. A $350 profit on $1,000 invested = 35% ROI. Crypto can produce dramatic ROI swings in short timeframes — understanding your target ROI before a trade is key risk management.
Break-Even Price
BEP = Total Cost ÷ (Qty × (1 − Sell Fee%))
The minimum sell price to recover all costs
Includes both buy and sell feesYour break-even price is always higher than your buy price when fees exist. Knowing your exact BEP prevents you from selling at a loss by accident. Especially important on high-fee exchanges like Coinbase.
After-Tax Profit
Net = P&L − (P&L × Tax Rate%)
Tax is only applied on positive profit
Losses may be deductible (consult a tax advisor)In most countries, crypto gains are subject to capital gains tax. Short-term gains (held <1 year) are often taxed higher than long-term. Enter your effective rate to see your real take-home amount.
Worked Example — Bitcoin Trade
You invest $2,000 in Bitcoin at $60,000/BTC and plan to sell at $80,000/BTC on Binance (0.1% fee each way). Your capital-gains tax rate is 20%.
| Step | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Coins purchased | $2,000 ÷ $60,000 | 0.03333 BTC |
| Buy fee (0.1%) | $2,000 × 0.001 | −$2.00 |
| Total cost | $2,000 + $2.00 | $2,002.00 |
| Gross revenue | 0.03333 × $80,000 | $2,666.67 |
| Sell fee (0.1%) | $2,666.67 × 0.001 | −$2.67 |
| Net revenue | $2,666.67 − $2.67 | $2,664.00 |
| Profit | $2,664.00 − $2,002.00 | +$662.00 |
| ROI | $662 ÷ $2,002 × 100 | +33.07% |
| Break-even price | $2,002 ÷ (0.03333 × 0.999) | $60,060.06 |
| Tax (20%) | $662 × 0.20 | −$132.40 |
| Net after tax | $662 − $132.40 | +$529.60 |
Key takeaway: Exchange fees reduced the profit by just $4.67 — but that's at 0.1%. On a high-fee exchange like Coinbase (0.6%), the same trade would lose $28 in fees alone. Over dozens of trades, fee choice significantly impacts total returns.
How Exchange Fees Impact Your Profit
$2,000 invested, buy at $60k, sell at $80k (+33.3% gain):

| Binance | 0.1% | $4.67 | $659.33 |
| Bybit | 0.1% | $4.67 | $659.33 |
| Kraken | 0.26% | $12.13 | $651.87 |
| Coinbase | 0.6% | $27.97 | $636.03 |
