The Crypto Calculator covers three essential calculations: profit & loss for any trade, dollar-cost averaging (DCA) to find your average buy price, and break-even price. Works for Bitcoin, Ethereum and any cryptocurrency.

How to use the crypto calculator

Three tabs cover the most common questions. P&L: enter buy price, sell price, amount of coin and any fees โ€” the calculator returns dollar profit or loss and percent return. DCA: list each buy you've made (amount in dollars, price at the time) and the tool computes your weighted average entry price and total coin held โ€” vital for knowing your real cost basis after multiple buys. Break-even: enter your average price and total fees; the tool returns the exact price you need to sell at to walk away even. Switch tabs freely; values don't bleed between them.

The math: weighted averages and fee drag

DCA average is a weighted average: (ฮฃ dollars spent) รท (ฮฃ coins received), not a simple mean of prices. Two $1,000 buys at $50,000 and $30,000 give an average of $37,500, not $40,000 โ€” because the lower-priced buy bought more coin. Profit/loss factors in fees on both sides: (sell ร— amount ร— (1 โˆ’ fee)) โˆ’ (buy ร— amount ร— (1 + fee)). Break-even works backwards from average price: BE = avg / (1 โˆ’ total_fee_pct). Fees of 0.1% per side seem trivial but matter on high-frequency trading.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dollar-cost averaging (DCA)?
Buying a fixed dollar amount of crypto at regular intervals regardless of price. Instead of trying to time the market, you average your cost over time โ€” reducing the impact of volatility.
How do I calculate crypto profit or loss?
Subtract your buy price from your sell price, multiply by the amount held. Don't forget to account for fees on both sides. The calculator does all of this automatically.
What is the break-even price?
The price at which your investment returns to zero profit/loss โ€” accounting for what you paid including fees.
Does this account for tax?
No. Capital gains tax depends on your country, holding period, and total income. Treat the profit number as pre-tax. In most jurisdictions, holding longer than a year qualifies for lower long-term rates.
Can I use it for stocks too?
Yes โ€” the math is identical. The "amount of coin" field is just shares; "fees" are commissions plus any spread cost.

Common scenarios

Working out your real cost basis after dollar-cost averaging into Bitcoin over a year, deciding whether to take a partial profit at break-even after a long drawdown, comparing two exit strategies side by side, or stress-testing how a 1% trading fee eats returns over many trades.
