How the math works
Coins = amount invested ÷ buy price. Your total cost is the amount invested plus the buy fee. When you sell, you receive coins × sell price, minus the sell fee. Profit is what you receive minus total cost; ROI is profit ÷ total cost.
Fees on both sides mean the coin has to rise more than the combined fee rate before you make money. The break-even price above shows exactly where that is.

Questions
How do I calculate crypto profit?
Coins = amount invested ÷ buy price. Profit = coins × sell price × (1 − sell fee) − (amount invested + buy fee). ROI = profit ÷ total cost.
Does this include taxes?
No. The result is profit before tax, which in the US is also your capital gain. Use the crypto tax calculator to estimate federal and state tax on it.
What fee should I enter?
Use the fee shown on your trade confirmation. Instant-buy screens often add a spread on top of the stated fee, so the real cost can be higher than the headline rate.
Does it work for Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP?
Yes. The math is the same for any coin: enter the prices you paid and expect to sell at, in US dollars.
