How to Calculate Crypto P&L Correctly
Basic P&L Formula
Profit/Loss = (Sell Price - Buy Price) × Quantity - Total Fees
Always include fees in your calculations. A 1% fee on both buy and sell means you need 2% price movement just to break even.
Common P&L Calculation Mistakes
1. Ignoring Trading Fees
Many traders forget to subtract fees from their profits. On a $10,000 trade with 0.1% fees, you're paying $20 in fees ($10 buy + $10 sell). This adds up quickly with frequent trading.
2. Not Tracking All Positions
If you buy at multiple price points, you need to calculate your average entry price. Our multiple trades feature handles this automatically.
3. Forgetting About Taxes
In most countries, crypto gains are taxable. Short-term gains (held <1 year) are often taxed at higher rates than long-term gains.
Tax Considerations by Country
United States
Short-term gains (< 1 year): Taxed as ordinary income (10-37%)
Long-term gains (> 1 year): Capital gains tax (0-20%)
United Kingdom
Capital gains tax: 10-20% (after £12,300 allowance)
Income tax rates apply for traders as business income
Canada
50% of capital gains are taxable
Business income: 100% taxable at marginal rate
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate P&L for multiple trades?
Use the "Multiple Trades" tab to add all your buy and sell orders. The calculator will automatically compute your average buy price, total fees, and net P&L across all trades.
Should I include transfer fees?
Yes, if you're transferring between exchanges to trade. Add these as additional fees to get your true P&L. Network fees for withdrawals should also be considered.
How accurate is the tax preview?
Our tax preview provides rough estimates based on standard rates. Actual taxes depend on your total income, deductions, and specific circumstances. Always consult a tax professional.
Can I track unrealized P&L?
Yes! Enter your buy price and current market price (instead of sell price) to see unrealized gains/losses. This helps you decide whether to hold or sell.
