How this math works
The number of units bought equals the amount invested divided by the buy price, and the value at sale equals those units multiplied by the sell price. The tool subtracts the fee once on the buy and once on the sell.
What remains is your profit or loss in dollars and your return as a percentage of the amount invested. This is an educational tool and not investment advice.
Common questions
Why are there two fees?
Most exchanges charge a fee when you buy and again when you sell. Counting both gives a more honest picture of your net result.
Does this include taxes on gains?
No. Crypto gains can be taxable, and rates depend on how long you held and where you live. The result shown here is before any tax.
Is this investment advice?
No. This calculator is for education and illustration only. Crypto prices are volatile and you can lose money, so make decisions based on your own research.
