Crypto profit & loss
Compare buy and sell prices, including fees.
A price scenario, not live quotes. All values use the selected currency. Buy and sell fees are entered together and deducted once. The percentage is net profit divided by purchase value before fees. Taxes, exchange-rate effects and funding costs are excluded.
Common questions
How does the crypto profit and loss calculator work?
It multiplies the quantity by the sale price, subtracts the quantity times the purchase price, then subtracts the total fees you enter. Use prices and fees in the same currency. It models one position and does not fetch market quotes or reconstruct a transaction history.
Why can the return percentage differ from another crypto calculator?
Here, the percentage is net profit divided by quantity times purchase price. Fees reduce the profit but are not added to that denominator. A tool that includes purchase fees in the initial investment, uses another exchange rate or combines several purchase lots can show a different percentage.
Which fees should I enter in the crypto profit calculation?
Enter the combined costs relevant to the purchase and sale scenario, converted to the same currency as the prices. Include trading, conversion or transfer costs where they apply, without counting a charge twice. The calculator does not decide whether a cost is deductible for tax purposes.
Can I use the result as my crypto tax return?
No. A negative result is possible, but the displayed profit or loss is only the result of this simplified calculation. Tax treatment can depend on residence, transaction type, acquisition history and local valuation rules. Keep your records and use the relevant tax authority's guidance for reporting.
