Download— How it works
Gross P/L = (sell price − buy price) × quantity. Net P/L = gross − buy fee − sell fee − gas + staking rewards − tax. Return = net P/L ÷ total outlay. Breakeven is the sell price at which the net result is zero, after fees and any TDS.
Gross, then the real number
The headline profit is simple: the price gain times how much you hold. Buy half a Bitcoin at $30,000 and sell at $45,000 and you’re up $7,500 on paper. But crypto rarely leaves it there. Exchanges take a percentage on the way in and the way out, networks charge gas to move coins, and — depending on where you live — the taxman takes a serious cut. The calculator starts from the gross figure and works down to what actually lands in your account, with every deduction itemized in the breakdown.
Worked example — 0.5 BTC bought at $30,000, sold at $45,000: Gross profit = ($45,000 − $30,000) × 0.5 = $7,500. With 0.2% fees each way and $25 gas, fees come to about $175, leaving roughly $7,325 before any tax.
Crypto tax is brutally local
No corner of personal finance varies more by country than crypto tax. India applies a flat 30% to gains with no deductions and no offsetting of losses, plus a 1% TDS withheld on every single sale — so even a losing trade hands over 1% of the sale value. The US treats crypto as property, taxing gains at capital-gains rates that depend on your income and how long you held. The calculator carries these rules in its data layer: pick a jurisdiction and it applies the right treatment, or choose Custom to set your own rate. Always confirm against current local rules — they change fast.
Breakeven, staking and the curve
The breakeven price is the sell price at which you walk away flat after fees and withholding — useful for knowing how far the price must move just to cover costs. Staking and yield rewards work the other way, adding free units that lift the result and lower the breakeven. The chart plots your net profit across a range of sell prices, crossing zero at breakeven, so you can see the whole risk-and-reward picture at a glance. As ever, this is an arithmetic tool, not advice — crypto is volatile and its tax rules are a moving target. Not investment or tax advice.
— Reader questions
How do I calculate crypto profit?
Multiply the price gain by your quantity: (sell price − buy price) × units. Then subtract exchange fees, gas and any tax, and add staking rewards, to get the net profit. The calculator itemizes each step.
How is crypto taxed in India?
Gains are taxed at a flat 30% with no deductions (beyond cost) and no offsetting of losses against other income, plus a 1% TDS withheld on the sale value of every transaction. Even a loss-making sale incurs the 1% TDS.
How is crypto taxed in the US?
The IRS treats crypto as property, so selling triggers a capital gain or loss, taxed at short- or long-term capital-gains rates depending on your income and whether you held it over a year. Losses can offset gains.
What is the breakeven price?
The sell price at which your net profit is exactly zero, after exchange fees and any withholding tax. Selling above it leaves you ahead; below it, behind. Staking rewards lower the breakeven.
Do staking rewards count as profit?
They add to your return — extra units earned for free, valued here at the sell price. Note many jurisdictions tax staking rewards as income when received, separately from the capital gain on the sale; check your local rules.
