Calculate your cryptocurrency profit or loss on any trade.
Calculate the profit or loss from your cryptocurrency trades instantly. Enter your buy price, sell price, and investment amount to see your profit, loss, and ROI. The calculator is designed to give a fast answer, but the quality of the answer still depends on accurate inputs and a clear idea of what decision you are trying to support.
- Enter Buy Price, Sell Price, and Investment Amount using the same units you plan to compare or report.
- Read the main profit / loss first, then use the supporting outputs to understand the trade-offs behind that result.
- Compare your numbers with the worked examples below if you want a quick reasonableness check.
The profit figure converts price movement into actual account impact, while ROI shows the trade outcome as a percentage for easier comparison across positions. On this page, the primary output is profit / loss.
Scenario 1: Buy BTC at $30,000, sell at $45,000, $1,000 invested. Inputs used: buyPrice: 30000, sellPrice: 45000, investment: 1000. Example result: $500 profit (50% ROI). A 50% price increase on a $1,000 investment yields $500 profit, for a total of $1,500.
Core formula: profit = (investment / buy price) * sell price - investment. The calculator first determines how many coins your investment bought, then values those coins at the exit price to compute profit and ROI.
- ROI tracks price performance, not fees or taxes.
- Large moves scale linearly with your initial investment size.
Use this calculator when reviewing a completed trade or planning an exit target for a crypto position. Related paths for follow-up analysis include position size calculator and roi calculator.
Most bad outputs come from a few repeated input errors or interpretation mistakes. Use this short checklist before relying on the result.
- Ignoring trading fees or taxes when estimating take-home profit.
- Confusing percent move in the asset with percent move in the account.
- Comparing trades without accounting for different position sizes.
