How to Calculate Crypto Profit?
Learn how to calculate your cryptocurrency profit or loss accurately.
To calculate crypto profit, subtract your buy price from the sell price, multiply by the number of coins, then subtract trading fees. Our calculator does this automatically for 17,000+ coins with support for USD, EUR, PLN, and 50+ currencies.
How to Calculate Crypto Profit?
Profit = (Sell Price - Buy Price) × Coins Owned Or more simply: Profit = Sell Value - Buy Value Percentage Return = ((Sell Price - Buy Price) / Buy Price) × 100
Example:
You bought 0.5 BTC at $40,000 ($20,000 total). Later you sell at $60,000. Profit = ($60,000 - $40,000) × 0.5 = $10,000. That's 50% return!
How Do Fees Affect Crypto Profit?
Remember to subtract trading fees from your profit. If you paid 0.1% fee on both buy and sell, that's 0.2% total reducing your actual profit.
What Are the Tax Implications of Crypto Profit?
In most countries, crypto profits are subject to capital gains tax. Short-term holding (usually under 1 year) is taxed higher than long-term. Always consult a tax professional.
