This tool shows whether a completed or planned trade is actually profitable once both-side fees are included. Price moves look good on a chart; fee drag often decides the real outcome.
When to use it
- You closed a spot trade and want net P&L including commissions
- You are planning an exit and need break-even after sell fees
- You want ROI that matches invested capital, not just price percent
- You need a quick phone check after leaving an exchange ticket
How to use it
- Enter buy price and quantity. Use the average fill price and the coin amount you bought.
- Enter sell price. Use the exit fill you took or the target you are modeling.
- Add fee percentages. Put buy and sell fee % fields. Fold gas or deposit costs into those percentages when they matter.
- Read P&L, ROI, and break-even. Invested, proceeds, profit or loss, ROI, and break-even sell update as you type.
Benefits
- Fee-aware math beats raw price percentage screenshots
- Break-even highlights how far price must move just to recover commissions
- Runs fully in the browser with no account
- Pairs cleanly with converter and liquidation tools
Pitfalls to avoid
- Funding, transfer, and network fees are only included if you add them
- Leveraged liquidations need the liquidation calculator too
- Currency mismatch (buy in PKR, sell in USD) needs a convert step first
- Not tax advice — use the capital gains helper only as a rough estimate
- Venue sticker fees may not match your VIP tier
Invested capital versus headline price move
A 10% price rise can still lose money if you paid 0.5% in and 0.5% out on a short scalp, especially with spread. The calculator defines invested as buy × quantity × (1 + buy fee) and proceeds as sell × quantity × (1 − sell fee). Profit is proceeds minus invested; ROI is profit divided by invested.
That definition matches how traders talk about “money I put at risk,” not just mark-to-market on a coin balance. Use monospace outputs to compare large USD and high-precision alt sizes without misreading zeros.
Break-even sell price in practice
Break-even answers: what sell price recovers invested capital after the sell-side fee? On high-fee venues or when you stack maker/taker tiers, that level can sit surprisingly far from your entry. Model it before you place a take-profit that only looks good on a fee-blind chart.
For leveraged positions, combine this with position size and liquidation calculators so ROI does not ignore forced-exit risk. This is informational only, not financial advice.
When to use profit calculator vs fee break-even
Profit calculator is for a specific entry/exit ticket. Fee break-even answers how far price must move to cover round-trip percents before you pick prices. Exchange fee compare picks the venue schedule first — see the profit after fees guide for the full workflow.
Worked example: buy 1 ETH at $3,000 with 0.2% fee, sell at $3,090 with 0.2% fee. Gross ~3% price move; after fees the ROI is smaller — run the numbers before calling it a win.
Common mistakes
Leaving sell fee at zero; mixing quote currencies; forgetting withdrawal flat fees on small tickets; celebrating chart % without invested-capital ROI.
Benefits for reviews and journaling
Paste fills into the tool after each trade to build a habit of fee-aware journaling. Screenshots of green candles without fee math train the wrong intuition. CryptonicTools keeps the workflow free and local so you are not exporting CSVs to a spreadsheet for a single ticket.
