About the Cryptocurrency Profit/Loss Calculator
Crypto profit = sell price × quantity − selling fee − (purchase price × quantity + buying fee). 0.5 BTC bought at $40,000 with a $20 fee and sold at $50,000 with a $20 fee makes +$4,960.00, +24.78% on the $20,020.00 it cost. The crypto profit and loss calculator does this for up to 50 holdings and adds them into one portfolio total.
Profit or loss on 0.5 BTC bought at $40,000, with a $20 fee each way
| Sell price | Cost | Value after selling fee | Profit or loss | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $30,000.00 | $20,020.00 | $14,980.00 | -$5,040.00 | -25.17% |
| $40,000.00 | $20,020.00 | $19,980.00 | -$40.00 | -0.20% |
| $40,100.00 | $20,020.00 | $20,030.00 | +$10.00 | +0.05% |
| $50,000.00 | $20,020.00 | $24,980.00 | +$4,960.00 | +24.78% |
| $60,000.00 | $20,020.00 | $29,980.00 | +$9,960.00 | +49.75% |
| $80,000.00 | $20,020.00 | $39,980.00 | +$19,960.00 | +99.70% |
Cost = $40,000 × 0.5 + the $20 buying fee. With both fees the holding breaks even at a sell price of $40,080.00, not at the $40,000 paid.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I calculate crypto profit with fees?
- Subtract the cost (purchase price × quantity + buying fee) from the value (sell or current price × quantity − selling fee). 1 BTC bought at $30,000 and worth $50,000, with no fees, is +$20,000.00, +66.67%. With a $15 buying fee and a $25 selling fee it is +$19,960.00, +66.50%.
- How is the percentage gain worked out?
- Profit ÷ cost × 100, where the cost includes the buying fee and the profit is after both fees. Selling 0.5 BTC bought at $40,000 for $60,000 gives +$9,960.00 on a cost of $20,020.00, +49.75%, a little under the 50% rise in the price.
- Can I enter a coin I got for free?
- Yes. A purchase price of 0 is allowed for an airdrop: 1,000 tokens now at $0.80 show +$800.00 of profit with no percentage, because there is no cost to divide by. Such a holding is left out of the best and worst performer.
- How does it pick the best and worst performer?
- By each holding’s percentage after fees. With 1 BTC bought at $30,000 now at $50,000 ($15 and $25 fees) and 4 ETH bought at $2,000 now at $1,500 ($5 fee each way), BTC is best at +66.50% and ETH worst at -25.11%. Adding the 1,000-token airdrop, the portfolio shows +$18,750.00, +49.32% on $38,020.00 invested.
- How do I enter several buys of the same coin at different prices?
- Give each buy its own row with the same current price. 0.2 BTC bought at $30,000 and 0.3 BTC bought at $50,000, both now at $60,000 with no fees, show +$6,000.00 (+100.00%) and +$3,000.00 (+20.00%). The portfolio line adds them: $21,000.00 invested, $30,000.00 of value and +$9,000.00, +42.86%, the same as 0.5 BTC at the average cost of $42,000.
- Is crypto profit taxed?
- In the US the IRS treats digital assets as property, not currency, and a sale or exchange produces a capital gain or loss worked out from your basis. This calculator does no tax: it ignores holding periods and which units were sold, so it gives a profit figure, not a number for a tax return.
