Crypto Profit Calculator

The Crypto Profit Calculator is the essential tool for crypto investors to calculate profit or loss on any trade. It handles any cryptocurrency — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and beyond.

What this calculator does

Enter your buy price, current price and total invested amount. The calculator automatically computes the number of coins, current value and net profit.

How it works

Understanding your ROI (Return on Investment) helps you make smarter entry and exit decisions in volatile crypto markets.

When to use this calculator

Use this calculator before closing a position — not just after. Running the projected P&L at the current price tells you the exact net amount you would receive after fees and estimated taxes, which is what actually matters. It is also essential for anyone comparing crypto returns against other investment vehicles: the annualised CAGR figure puts a two-month gain and a two-year hold on the same comparable scale.

Common mistakes

The most expensive calculation error is ignoring fees when computing cost basis. If you pay a 0.1% buy fee on a $50,000 entry, your true cost basis is $50,050 — and that $50 matters at scale when running many trades. For tax purposes, using the wrong cost basis method (e.g., FIFO versus specific identification) can produce significantly different tax liabilities on the same underlying positions. Keep transaction records with timestamps and exact prices.

Real-world scenarios

A trader buys 2 ETH at

,800 (total $3,600, plus 0.1% fee = $3,603.60 cost basis). Three months later, sells both at $2,400 (gross $4,800, minus 0.1% exit fee = $4,795.20 proceeds). Net profit:
,191.60. ROI: 33.1%. Annualised: approximately 132%. Estimated UK CGT at 20%: £238.32. Without the calculator, most traders round to 'about
,200 profit' and miss both the fee drag and the tax liability — both of which need to be accounted for before reinvesting proceeds.

Formula

Crypto Profit Formula

Profit = (Current Price − Buy Price) × (Investment ÷ Buy Price) ROI = (Profit ÷ Investment) × 100

Number of coins = Investment ÷ Buy Price. Current Value = Coins × Current Price. Profit = Current Value − Investment.

Worked example

You invest $5,000 in Bitcoin at $25,000. Bitcoin later rises to $40,000. What is your profit?

  1. Coins bought: $5,000 ÷ $25,000 = 0.2 BTC
  2. Current value: 0.2 × $40,000 = $8,000
  3. Profit: $8,000 − $5,000 = $3,000

Result: Profit = $3,000 — ROI of 60%

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate crypto profit?

Profit = (Sell Price − Buy Price) × Number of Coins. The calculator handles this automatically when you input your investment amount.

Does this work for all cryptocurrencies?

Yes — enter the prices of any coin: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, or any altcoin.

What is ROI in crypto trading?

ROI (Return on Investment) = (Profit ÷ Investment) × 100. A 50% ROI means you made $50 profit for every

00 invested.

Should I account for crypto taxes?

Yes. In most countries, crypto gains are taxable. Consult a tax professional or use our Crypto Capital Gains calculator.
