How it works
A crypto profit calculator finds your gain or loss on a trade: the difference between sale and purchase value, times the quantity, minus fees. The same math gives your percentage return for comparing trades.
Crypto profit
Profit = (sell price − buy price) × quantity − fees Return% = profit ÷ (buy price × quantity) × 100
- buy/sell price
- price per coin in and out
- quantity
- number of coins
- fees
- exchange/network fees both ways
Worked example
- Bought 0.5 BTC at $30,000
- Sold at $40,000, $50 total fees
- Gross = (40,000 − 30,000) × 0.5 = $5,000
- Net = 5,000 − 50
Profit ≈ $4,950 — a ~33% return.
Good to know
- Crypto is highly volatile; gains can reverse fast, so size positions accordingly.
- Trading fees and network (gas) fees on both ends eat into returns, especially on small trades.
- In many countries crypto disposals are taxable events — keep records of cost basis.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate crypto profit or loss?
Profit = sale proceeds − cost basis, where cost basis is what you paid including fees, and proceeds are what you received minus fees. Buying 0.5 BTC for $20,000 and selling for $28,000 with $100 of total fees yields a $7,900 gain.
How is cryptocurrency taxed in the US?
The IRS treats crypto as property: selling, trading one coin for another, or spending crypto are all taxable events that realize a capital gain or loss. Holdings over one year get long-term capital-gains rates; one year or less is taxed as ordinary income.
What are FIFO and LIFO cost basis methods?
When you sell part of a position bought at different prices, an accounting method decides which "lots" you sold. FIFO (first-in, first-out) sells your oldest coins first; specific identification lets you choose lots, which can minimize the taxable gain if you keep adequate records.
Why should I include fees in the calculation?
Exchange, network, and spread fees raise your cost basis and lower your proceeds, directly shrinking the real gain. Frequent traders can lose a surprising share of returns to fees, so a profit figure that ignores them overstates performance.
Why does my result differ from my exchange's dashboard?
Dashboards often show unrealized gains at the current spot price, may exclude fees or staking income, and use their own cost-basis method. Volatile prices also mean any calculation is a snapshot — the same position can look very different an hour later.
