Enter the buy price, sell price, and investment amount to determine your profit or loss on a cryptocurrency trade. The calculator supports preset coin labels for popular cryptocurrencies and a custom option for any other token. Optional fee fields let you factor in exchange or broker costs as a percentage of the transaction.

  • Select a cryptocurrency from the Coin dropdown or choose Custom and type a coin name in the Custom Coin Name field.
  • Enter the price you paid per coin in the Buy Price per Coin ($) field. Accepted formats include whole numbers, decimals, fractions such as 3/4, and mixed numbers such as 5 1/2.
  • Enter your expected or actual selling price in the Sell Price per Coin ($) field using the same flexible formats.
  • Type the total dollar amount you invested in the Investment Amount ($) field.
  • If your exchange charges fees, enter the percentage in Investment Fee (%) for the buying side and Exit Fee (%) for the selling side. Both default to zero.
  • Click Calculate or wait for the automatic 500-millisecond debounce to see results.
  • Open Settings to enable Show step-by-step breakdown, which displays the full derivation of each intermediate value. Adjust Decimal Precision to control how many decimal places appear in the output.
  • Click Reset to clear all fields and stored data, returning every input to its default value.

The profit formula works as follows: the net investment after the entry fee is divided by the buy price to determine the number of coins acquired. That coin quantity is multiplied by the sell price to produce the gross exit value, from which the exit fee is subtracted. Profit or loss equals the net exit value minus the original investment. Return on investment is expressed as a percentage of the original amount.

Profit and loss estimation applies to a wide range of trading scenarios, from evaluating past decisions to planning new positions. Below are practical situations where profit and loss estimation adds value.

  • Pre-trade planning: Model different sell price targets for a $5,000 Bitcoin position bought at $60,000 to find the exit point that meets your profit goal after a 0.1% exchange fee on each side.
  • Historical what-if analysis: Enter a past buy price of $0.05 for Dogecoin with a $200 investment and the peak sell price of $0.73 to see the hypothetical return you would have realized.
  • Fee impact comparison: Compare identical trades with 0% fees versus 1.5% fees on entry and exit to quantify how much exchange costs reduce net profit over multiple transactions.
  • Altcoin evaluation: Select the Custom coin option and enter projected buy and sell prices for a newly listed token to estimate the profit potential before committing funds.
  • Portfolio rebalancing: Determine the gain or loss on an existing Ethereum position at the current market price to decide whether selling and reallocating to another asset improves overall returns.
  • Tax reporting preparation: Enter actual buy and sell prices for completed trades to calculate realized gains for each transaction, making it faster to compile figures for tax documentation.
  • Risk assessment: Model a worst-case scenario by setting the sell price below the buy price to see the exact dollar loss and negative return on investment for a given position size.
