Set your exit — we’ll watch the price for you
Decide the price you’d take profit (or cut a loss) at, and we’ll message you the moment it’s reached — three times, 15 minutes apart, so you don’t miss it. You set the target; we just watch. Free, no account.
This is a price alert you choose — not financial advice. Nothing is sent until you confirm; stop any time.

How the profit number is worked out
The arithmetic is straightforward, but the details are where money hides. Your profit is what you sell for minus what it cost you: (sell price − buy price) × quantity. The percentage is that figure divided by your cost basis, which tells you how hard your capital actually worked rather than just the headline dollar amount. The calculator above does both, and it lets you pull a live sell price for the coin you pick so you can see an unrealised position marked to the current market in one tap.
Fees move the goalposts more than people expect
Every round trip pays a fee twice — once when you buy and once when you sell — and both come out of your return. Enter a percentage per side and the tool applies it to each leg, which is why your break-even sell price sits a little above your buy price rather than exactly on it. With a 0.5% fee each way you need roughly a 1% move just to get back to flat. That is also a fair point to compare against AceChange’s own swap fee, which starts at 0.5% and is already baked into the rate you are shown — separate from the blockchain network fee, which always goes to the chain itself.
Realised, unrealised, and the taxman
A gain you can see on screen is unrealised; it only becomes realised — and, in most places, relevant for tax — when you actually sell or swap. This matters because in many countries a crypto-to-crypto swap counts as a disposal even though you never touched fiat, and cost-basis methods such as FIFO or average cost differ by jurisdiction. This tool is built to help you understand a trade, not to file it: treat the output as information, and take anything tax-related to a qualified professional in your country.
The errors that distort results
Three habits cause most bad numbers: leaving fees out entirely, mixing currencies (do the whole calculation in one base, usually USD), and confusing total return with annualised return — doubling your money in five years is not the same as doubling it in five months. Enter clean, consistent figures and the result will be honest.

Crypto profit — frequently asked questions
Short, direct answers about calculating crypto profit and loss.
How is crypto profit calculated?
Profit = (sell price − buy price) × quantity, minus any fees on each side. The percentage is that profit divided by your total cost. This calculator does both, net of the fee you enter.
Does this include fees?
Yes — enter a percentage fee per side and it is applied to both the buy and the sell, which also moves your break-even price above your buy price. Leave it blank for a fee-free estimate.
Is swapping crypto a taxable event?
In many countries a crypto-to-crypto swap is a taxable disposal, even without cashing out to fiat. Rules differ by jurisdiction — this tool is general information, not tax advice; consult a qualified professional.
What does break-even mean here?
It is the sell price at which your net profit is exactly zero after both fees. Selling above it is a profit; below it is a loss. Round-trip fees always push break-even a little above your buy price.
