Crypto Profit & ROI Calculator
Calculate net profit, loss, and return on investment (ROI%) for crypto trades including buy/sell fees.
Trade Profit Summary
How Does This Crypto Profit Calculator Work?
This calculator determines your net profit or loss and Return on Investment (ROI) from a cryptocurrency trade using three simple inputs: the amount you invested, the price at which you bought the crypto, and the price at which you sold it.
The formula behind the calculation is straightforward: First, your investment is divided by the buy price to determine how many coins/tokens you purchased. That quantity is then multiplied by the sell price to find the total payout value. Your net profit is the payout minus your original investment, and ROI is expressed as a percentage of your initial capital.
Example: You invest ₹50,000 in Bitcoin when it trades at ₹25,00,000 per coin. You buy 0.02 BTC. When Bitcoin reaches ₹32,00,000, you sell your 0.02 BTC for ₹64,000. Your net profit is ₹14,000, and your ROI is 28%.
Understanding ROI in Cryptocurrency Trading
Return on Investment (ROI) is the most universal metric for evaluating any investment. In crypto, it measures how efficiently your capital worked for you. A 30% ROI sounds great — but context matters enormously. Did you earn 30% in 3 months or in 3 years? Against what benchmark?
For context, Nifty 50 has delivered approximately 14–15% CAGR over the last decade. If your crypto trade delivers 15% in a week, that's exceptional. But crypto markets are volatile — the same assets can lose 50–80% in bear markets. Always factor in this risk-adjusted return when evaluating whether a crypto trade truly outperformed safer alternatives.
Trading Fees: The Hidden Cost of Crypto
Most beginners ignore trading fees, but they compound significantly over many trades. Major Indian exchanges like WazirX, CoinDCX, and Zebpay charge between 0.1% and 0.5% per transaction. International exchanges like Binance charge 0.1% (or lower with BNB discounts). For a ₹1,00,000 trade at 0.2% per leg, you pay ₹200 to buy and ₹200 to sell — ₹400 total. If you trade actively (10 times per month), that's ₹4,000/month or ₹48,000/year just in fees.
Key Tax Rules on Crypto in India (2026)
Since Budget 2022, crypto profits in India are taxed at a flat 30% rate (plus applicable cess), regardless of your income slab. Additionally, a 1% TDS is deducted by exchanges on every transaction above ₹10,000. Crucially, losses from one cryptocurrency cannot be set off against profits from another — each asset is taxed independently. This is a significant departure from equity taxation rules and makes crypto record-keeping essential.
Is crypto profit taxable in India?
Yes. All profits from transferring Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) — including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies — are taxed at a flat 30% rate under Section 115BBH of the Income Tax Act, regardless of the holding period. A 1% TDS is also applicable on transactions above ₹10,000 per financial year.
What is a good ROI for crypto?
This depends entirely on your time horizon and risk tolerance. Bitcoin has delivered roughly 100x returns over 10 years but also experienced 70%+ drawdowns during bear markets. A realistic expectation for a long-term, diversified crypto holding period of 3–5 years might be 20–40% CAGR — though past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
