How do you calculate profit and ROI on a crypto trade?

Profit = (sell − buy) × quantity − fees, and ROI = profit ÷ total invested × 100, with the fee charged on both the buy and the sell. For example, buying 0.5 coins at 20,000 and selling at 30,000 with a 0.5% fee returns about 4,875 profit — roughly a 48.5% ROI. Fees quietly eat into returns.

Understanding your result

Fees quietly eat into returns, so they are applied to both sides of the trade. ROI is measured against your total cost including the entry fee, so it reflects what you actually risked.

Formula and method

Profit = (sell − buy) × quantity − fees. ROI = profit ÷ total invested × 100, where the fee is charged on both the buy and the sell.

Assumptions and limitations

Results are estimates for general guidance only and not financial, investment or tax advice. They cover a single trade using the prices, quantity and fee you enter and ignore other costs, spreads and market movement. Crypto is highly volatile, and any tax on your gains depends on local rules, so confirm important figures with a qualified professional.

Worked example

Buying 0.5 coins at 20,000 and selling at 30,000 with a 0.5% fee returns about 4,875 profit — roughly a 48.5% ROI.

How to use this tool

Frequently asked questions

Does this include exchange fees?

Yes. The fee percentage you enter is applied to both the buy and the sell, so the profit shown is your net result.

Is this tax advice?

No. It estimates trading profit only and does not calculate capital gains tax, which depends on your country and holding period.

Why is the fee charged on both the buy and the sell?

Most exchanges take a fee when you enter a position and again when you exit, so both reduce your outcome. The tool applies the fee to each side, then measures ROI against your total cost including the entry fee, reflecting the amount you genuinely put at risk.

Does ROI here account for how long I held the coin?

No. ROI is a simple percentage of profit against your total invested and is not annualised, so it does not reflect holding time. A 48% return over one week and over one year both show as roughly 48% here; use a rate-based tool if you need a per-year figure.
