Crypto ROI Calculator

How is crypto ROI calculated?

ROI = (current value − amount invested) ÷ amount invested × 100. This tool first deducts the exchange fee from your investment, buys coins with the rest, and values them at the current price. With $1,000 at a $30,000 buy price and a $45,000 current price, a 0.5% fee leaves $995 to buy 0.03316667 coins worth $1,492.50, which is a 49.25% ROI.

What is annualised ROI and when is it useful?

Annualised ROI restates the return as a yearly rate: (value ÷ invested)^(365 ÷ days held) − 1. It lets you compare investments held for different lengths of time. It becomes misleading for short holds, because compounding a few days of gains over a full year produces huge numbers. A 10% gain in 10 days annualises to over 3,000%, which no investor should expect to repeat.

Are exchange fees included?

The buy-side fee is. It reduces the number of coins you receive, so the profit shown is already net of that fee, and the fee paid is listed separately. A sell-side fee is not modelled; to include it, subtract the sell fee from the current value yourself.

What price do I need just to break even?

Break-even price = buy price ÷ (1 − fee). With a 0.5% fee on a $30,000 buy, the price must rise to about $30,150.75 before you get back your $1,000. The higher the fee, the larger the move you need.

Does the calculator include capital gains tax?

No. In many countries, selling crypto at a profit creates a capital gain, and the rate depends on your income and how long you held. The ROI shown is pre-tax. Keep a record of your purchase dates and prices, and check the rules in your country or ask a tax professional.

Can I use it for a loss?

Yes. Enter a current price below your buy price and the result shows a negative profit and ROI. For example, $1,000 bought at $30,000 and worth $796.00 at $24,000 after 180 days is a loss of $204.00, or −20.40%, which annualises to −37.04% per year.

What happens if I leave a box empty or enter 0?

A box you empty counts as 0. A buy price of 0 or a holding period of 0 days cannot be used, because the number of coins and the annualised rate would be meaningless, so the tool shows a message asking for a value above 0. An investment of 0 shows the value, coins and fees as 0.00 and marks both ROI lines n/a, since there is nothing to divide by. A current price of 0 is allowed and shows a total loss of −100%, and a fee of 0 simply means no fee is deducted.

Does it work for any coin?

Yes. Enter the amount you invested, the price per coin when you bought, the current price per coin and the fee. It works the same for Bitcoin, Ethereum or any other token with a dollar price.
