How to calculate crypto profit
Enter how much you invested, the price you bought at, and the price you sold (or plan to sell) at. The calculator works out how many coins your investment bought, the value when you sell, and subtracts your original investment plus trading fees to show your net profit and return on investment (ROI).
The formulas
Coins = Invested ÷ Buy price · Sell value = Coins × Sell price · Net profit = Sell value − Invested − fees
Fees apply to both the buy and the sell. ROI = net profit ÷ invested × 100.
Worked example
Invest $1,000, buy at $30,000, sell at $45,000, with a 0.1% fee per trade:
- Coins bought: $1,000 ÷ $30,000 = 0.0333
- Sell value: 0.0333 × $45,000 = $1,500
- Fees (buy + sell): ≈ $2.50
- Net profit: ≈ $497.50 · ROI: ≈ +49.75%
How much would I make if I invest $100 in Bitcoin?
A small stake like $100 grows in proportion to the price move. Use this as a quick guide (before fees and tax):
- Bitcoin rises 10%: $100 → $110 (about $10 profit)
- Bitcoin rises 50%: $100 → $150
- Bitcoin doubles (+100%): $100 → $200
- Bitcoin does a 10x: $100 → $1,000
The same maths works as a Bitcoin investment calculator, a buy/sell calculator, or a Bitcoin ROI & earnings calculator for any coin — just enter your own buy and sell price above. Remember Bitcoin can fall just as fast, so $100 can also become less than $100.
Quick reference: what $100, $500 and $1,000 turn into
How much your Bitcoin investment is worth at different price moves (before fees and tax):
| Price move | $100 becomes | $500 becomes | $1,000 becomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| +10% | $110 | $550 | $1,100 |
| +25% | $125 | $625 | $1,250 |
| +50% | $150 | $750 | $1,500 |
| 2x (+100%) | $200 | $1,000 | $2,000 |
| 5x (+400%) | $500 | $2,500 | $5,000 |
| 10x | $1,000 | $5,000 | $10,000 |
These are simple proportional figures — a 50% rise multiplies any amount by 1.5. Use the calculator above for exact profit after trading fees.
Exit value vs net profit
The two figures answer different questions. Exit value is the cash you receive from selling, after the sell fee only. Net profit goes further — it also subtracts your original investment and the buy fee — so it's your true gain. Don't confuse the cash in hand with the actual profit.
Don't forget fees, tax, and risk
Exchange fees apply on both the buy and the sell and quietly eat into returns — this tool includes them. Crypto profits may also be taxable where you live; this calculator does not account for tax. Above all, crypto is volatile and high-risk: this is an estimate for general information, not financial advice.
Common mistakes to avoid
Quoting the raw price gain (here 50%) as your return while ignoring fees (the real ROI is 49.75%). Forgetting tax on gains. Treating exit value as profit. Investing more than you can afford to lose in a volatile asset.
Frequently asked questions
$1,000 at $30k buy, sold at $45k — what's the profit?
About $497.50 net (≈49.75% ROI) after a 0.1% fee on each trade.
How much would I make if I invest $100 in Bitcoin?
It tracks the price move: +10% → ~$110, +50% → $150, doubling → $200, 10x → $1,000. It can also fall below $100. Enter your buy and sell price for the exact figure.
Does it include trading fees?
Yes — applied to both the buy and the sell, so net profit reflects what you keep.
What's exit value vs net profit?
Exit value is cash after the sell fee; net profit also subtracts your investment and buy fee.
Can profit be negative?
Yes. If the sell price (after fees) is below your buy price, you have a loss.
Does it account for taxes?
No. Crypto gains may be taxable where you live; check local rules.
