How to Calculate Your Crypto Profit
Calculating profits in the volatile world of cryptocurrency involves more than just subtracting your buy price from your sell price. To get an accurate picture of your "take-home" gains, you must account for investment fees (entry), exchange fees (exit), and the total units held.
The formula for net profit is: (Total Units × Sell Price) - Investment - Total Fees. Most traders overlook the impact of small percentage fees, but on high-volume trades, these can significantly erode your ROI.
Real-World Example:
Suppose you invest $5,000 in Bitcoin when the price is $40,000. You pay a 0.5% entry fee. Later, you sell when Bitcoin hits $60,000 and pay a 0.5% exit fee.
Suppose you invest $5,000 in Bitcoin when the price is $40,000. You pay a 0.5% entry fee. Later, you sell when Bitcoin hits $60,000 and pay a 0.5% exit fee.
- Units Bought: 0.124375 BTC (after entry fee)
- Gross Sale: $7,462.50
- Net Profit: $2,425.19
- ROI: 48.5%
Key Factors Affecting Your ROI
- Entry and Exit Fees: Exchanges like Coinbase or Binance charge small percentages per trade. Always factor these in.
- Spread: The difference between the bid and ask price can sometimes act as a hidden fee.
- Network Fees (Gas): If you are moving assets to a private wallet or using decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Uniswap, gas fees can be substantial regardless of investment size.
- Taxes: In many jurisdictions, crypto-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat trades are taxable events.
