Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate Bitcoin profit?

Bitcoin profit is calculated by subtracting your total cost (buy price × amount + buy fee) from your total revenue (sell price × amount - sell fee). Our calculator handles this automatically, including trading fees on both buy and sell sides, giving you the exact net profit or loss.

What trading fee should I use in the calculator?

Use the fee rate from your exchange. Most major exchanges charge between 0.1% and 0.5% per trade. Binance and KuCoin charge around 0.1%, Kraken charges 0.16-0.26%, and Coinbase can charge 0.5-1.5%. Check your exchange's fee schedule for the exact rate. Our calculator applies the fee to both the buy and sell transactions.

What is the break-even price?

The break-even price is the minimum price at which you need to sell your Bitcoin to recover your full investment including all trading fees. If you sell above the break-even price, you make a profit. If you sell below it, you incur a loss. This is especially useful when factoring in exchange fees.

Does this calculator account for taxes?

No, this calculator shows pre-tax profit. Cryptocurrency tax rates vary significantly by country, holding period (short-term vs long-term capital gains), and your overall income. In the US, short-term crypto gains are taxed as ordinary income (10-37%), while long-term gains (held over 1 year) are taxed at 0-20%. Consult a tax professional for your specific obligations.

Can I use this for other cryptocurrencies?

Yes! While this calculator is designed for Bitcoin, the profit calculation formula works the same for any cryptocurrency. Simply enter the buy price, sell price, amount, and fee rate for any crypto asset to calculate your trading profit or loss.

Why is my break-even price higher than my buy price?

Your break-even price is higher than your buy price because of trading fees. You pay a fee when you buy and another when you sell, so you need the price to increase enough to cover both fees before you start making a profit. The higher your fee rate, the bigger this gap will be.
