Crypto Profit Calculator
Calculate your crypto profit, ROI, total fees, and break-even sell price after exchange fees.
Total Cost (with buy fee): $30,000 × 1 + 0.5% fee = $30,150.00
Total Return (after sell fee): $50,000 × 1 − 0.5% fee = $49,750.00
Net Profit / Loss: $49,750.00 − $30,150.00 = +$19,600.00
Break-Even Price: $30,150.00 ÷ (1 × 0.9950) = $30,301.51
How Crypto Profit is Calculated
Your total cost is the amount you paid to buy the cryptocurrency, including any exchange trading fee. For example, buying 1 BTC at $30,000 with a 0.5% buy fee means your total cost is $30,150. This is the baseline you need to beat in order to profit.
Your total return is what you receive when you sell, after the exchange deducts its selling fee. If you sell 1 BTC at $50,000 with a 0.5% sell fee, your net proceeds are $49,750. Your net profit is then $49,750 − $30,150 = $19,600, and your ROI is roughly 65%.
The break-even price is the minimum sell price needed to recover your original cost after buy and sell fees. It is especially useful when planning exits on higher-fee platforms like Coinbase, where fees can move your true break-even price much more than you expect. If you only look at the market price and ignore fees, you can sell at what looks like a profit but still walk away with less than you invested.
This tool is best used for real trade planning: compare exchanges, test different sell targets, and see how much fees reduce your take-home profit. If you want to compare crypto trading with longer-term investing, see the investment calculator, compound interest calculator, or options profit calculator. Realized gains may also trigger taxes, so treat the result here as pre-tax profit unless you calculate taxes separately.
