Open the Crypto Profit CalculatorFormula
Long gross profit = (exit price - entry price) x quantity
Short gross profit = (entry price - exit price) x quantity
net profit after fees = gross profit - open fee - close fee
ROI on margin = net profit after fees / initial margin x 100
Example
Example inputs: entry price 145.00, exit price 160.00, quantity 0.5, open fee 0.10%, and close fee 0.10%.
The gross profit estimate is 7.50. The open fee estimate is 0.07 and the close fee estimate is 0.08, so the net profit after fees is about 7.35 before any optional tax estimate.
How leverage changes the estimate
Leverage changes the initial margin used for the position and can make ROI on margin look larger or smaller. It does not change the underlying price movement between entry and exit. This calculator does not estimate liquidation price because exchanges use different maintenance margin, funding, and liquidation rules.
Why fees matter
Small trading fees can change a profit estimate, especially when the price movement is small. A calculator that includes both open and close fees gives a clearer educational estimate than a price-only formula.
