Crypto Profit Calculator
Work out gains or losses on a cryptocurrency trade, including exchange fees on both sides.
About the Crypto Profit Calculator
Enter the amount invested, the buy and sell prices per coin and the exchange fee per trade. The calculator gives the coins bought, the proceeds after fees and your profit or loss.
Exchanges charge a percentage fee on each trade, typically 0.1–0.6%. Fees reduce the coins you buy and the cash you receive.
The formula
Proceeds = (investment × (1 − fee) ÷ buy price) × sell price × (1 − fee)
Worked example
1,000 invested at 60,000 a coin, sold at 72,000, 0.1% fee each way
- Coins bought: 999 ÷ 60,000 = 0.01665
- Proceeds: 0.01665 × 72,000 × 0.999 = 1,197.60
- Profit 197.60 (19.76%), slightly below the 20% price rise
Things to keep in mind
- Crypto is highly volatile and, in many countries, taxed: India taxes crypto gains at a flat 30% plus 1% TDS on transfers.
