How to Calculate Crypto Profit
Your crypto profit is what you receive when you sell minus what you paid to buy, including the trading fees on both sides. Multiply the quantity of coins by the buy price to get your cost basis, then add the buy fee to get your total cost. Multiply the same quantity by the sell price and subtract the sell fee to get your net proceeds. The difference between net proceeds and total cost is your profit or loss.
Your percentage return divides that profit by your total cost, and the return multiple (for example, 1.5×) shows how many times your money you ended up with. Most exchanges charge a percentage fee per trade — often between 0.1% and 0.5% — so entering them gives you a true, net result rather than an optimistic one.
A Note on Fees and Taxes
Spot trading fees vary widely: large exchanges charge as little as 0.1% per trade, while instant-buy and card purchases can cost several percent. This calculator covers exchange fees but not network (gas) fees, spreads, or taxes. In most countries, selling crypto for a profit is a taxable capital gain — the rate often depends on how long you held the asset — so treat the figure here as a pre-tax result and consult a tax professional for your situation.
