How do you calculate crypto profit?

Net profit ≈ (sell price × amount − sell fees) − (buy price × amount + buy fees). This calculator uses percentage fees like most exchanges charge.

Should I include exchange fees?

Yes if you want honest P&L. Maker/taker fees and spreads can quietly erase a “small win,” especially on short holds.

Does this include network / gas fees?

Not as a separate line — fold on-chain costs into the fee % or add them mentally. Spot CEX trades are usually fee-% only.

No. Crypto tax rules vary by country. Use this for trade math; talk to a tax pro for reporting.

What is a crypto profit calculator?

Same idea as a stock P&L tool — but built for coin amounts and percentage exchange fees. Plug in what you paid, what you sold for, and how much you held to see net profit or loss without spreadsheet gymnastics.

Crypto P&L formula

Net profit = Proceeds after sell fee − Cost including buy fee

Cost = buy price × amount × (1 + buy fee %). Proceeds = sell price × amount × (1 − sell fee %). Return % = net profit ÷ cost.
