Number of coins or fractions purchased
Acquisition price per coin at purchase
Liquidation or target market price per coin
Trading fee rate charged per order (typical exchange fee is 0.1%)
Gross proceeds minus total cost and exchange transaction fees
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the quantity of coins or fractional tokens traded.
- Enter your purchase execution price per coin.
- Enter your exit or target liquidation price per coin.
- Provide your exchange’s fee percentage (such as 0.10% on Binance or Coinbase Advanced).
Formula & Calculation Methodology
Total net profit accounts for bidirectional exchange maker/taker fee haircuts on both acquisition capital and gross realized sales.
Worked Example

Frequently Asked Questions
How do exchange fees impact short-term crypto trading?↓
Even modest 0.1%–0.5% trading fees accumulate rapidly when churning positions. Over many round-trips, transaction friction can consume a substantial fraction of gross trading profits.
Does this calculator incorporate blockchain network (gas) fees?↓
This models centralized exchange order-book trading fees. For decentralized exchange (DEX) swaps on Ethereum or Solana, remember to account for network gas fees.
Can this calculator display losses if the price drops?↓
Yes. If the sell price falls below the purchase price (or if fees outweigh nominal gains), net profit displays negative values, accurately reflecting your net capital loss.
Are cryptocurrency profits subject to taxation?↓
In most jurisdictions (including the IRS, HMRC, and ATO), cryptocurrency disposals trigger capital gains tax events. Short-term holding periods are standardly taxed at ordinary income rates.
