How Crypto ROI Is Calculated

This calculator computes your return on investment for cryptocurrency trades, accounting for exchange fees on both the buy and sell sides.

ROI = ((Total Return − Total Invested) / Total Invested) × 100

Total Invested includes the cost of the crypto plus buy fees. Total Return is the sell proceeds minus sell fees. Exchange fees typically range from 0.1% to 1.5% depending on the platform.

Note: This calculator does not account for tax implications. In the US, cryptocurrency gains are taxed as capital gains — short-term (held < 1 year) at your income tax rate, or long-term at 0%, 15%, or 20%.

Crypto ROI FAQs

Answers to common questions about cryptocurrency returns.

Why should I include exchange fees in ROI calculation?

Exchange fees directly reduce your profits. A 1% buy fee + 1% sell fee on a trade means you need at least a 2% price increase just to break even. For frequent traders, fees compound significantly over time.

How are crypto gains taxed in the US?

Cryptocurrency is treated as property by the IRS. Short-term gains (held less than 1 year) are taxed at your ordinary income rate. Long-term gains (held over 1 year) are taxed at preferential rates of 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on income.

Does this work for any cryptocurrency?

Yes — enter the buy price and sell price per coin or token, and the quantity you traded. It works for Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, stablecoins, or any digital asset.

What about DCA (dollar-cost averaging) purchases?

For DCA, calculate your average buy price (total invested ÷ total quantity) and use that as your buy price. The calculator will then show your overall return on the entire position.

How does the staking add-on work?

The staking add-on estimates simple staking rewards over your holding period, subtracts validator fees from those rewards, and adds the net reward tokens to your exit quantity. It is a planning shortcut, not a protocol-specific reward simulator.
