Crypto profit calculator
The net profit of a coin trade after fees: the buy price, the sell price, the amount and the taker fees. Buying and selling on one exchange; for arbitrage between exchanges, with a withdrawal and the order books, there is a calculator of its own.
Buying and selling on one exchange: the taker fee comes off the buy and off the proceeds. For a trade between exchanges with a withdrawal, use the Arbitrage between exchanges tab.
Result
Type the buy price, the sell price and the amount.
How it counts
Coins bought = amount × (1 − buy fee) / buy price. The taker fee comes off the buy, so slightly fewer coins arrive than amount / price.
Proceeds = coins × sell price × (1 − sell fee). Profit = proceeds − amount; as a percentage, it is the share of the amount.
The break-even sell price = buy price / ((1 − buy fee) × (1 − sell fee)): at 0.1% fees the price must rise about 0.2% for the trade to come out even.
Example: 1,000 USDT, bought at 100.00 and sold at 110.00, taker fees of 0.1% each. You buy 9.99 coins, sell for 1,097.80 USDT and keep 97.80 USDT. The break-even sell price is 100.2003.
The result takes one price for the whole amount: no slippage on the order book, no funding, no taxes. The default fee is 0.1%; type your own.

FAQ
- How do you calculate crypto trading profit?
- Coins bought = amount × (1 − buy fee) / buy price; proceeds = coins × sell price × (1 − sell fee); profit = proceeds − amount. The calculator does it at once and shows the profit in dollars and as a percentage.
- At what price do I break even?
- The break-even sell price = buy price / ((1 − buy fee) × (1 − sell fee)). At 0.1% fees the price must rise about 0.2%; the calculator shows it in the result.
- Which fee should I type in?
- Your exchange's taker fee: most exchanges start at about 0.1% a trade. If you trade with limit orders, the maker rate applies; the buy and sell fee fields are independent.
- How is this different from the arbitrage calculator?
- Here you buy and sell on one exchange, so there is no withdrawal fee and no transfer network. For a price gap between two exchanges with coins moved between them, use the arbitrage calculator: it takes live prices and order books.
- Does the calculator count taxes and funding?
- No. This is a spot trade: taxes depend on your country, and funding exists only on perpetual futures, which have their own calculator.
