Real-World Examples

📈 Profitable Investment

Scenario: Invested $5,000 in Bitcoin when price was $50,000/BTC. After 12 months, BTC price is $65,000 with 1% transaction fees.

Calculation:

  • BTC Purchased: $5,000 ÷ $50,000 = 0.1 BTC
  • Current Value: 0.1 BTC × $65,000 = $6,500
  • Transaction Fees: 1% of $6,500 = $65
  • Net Value: $6,500 - $65 = $6,435
  • Profit: $6,435 - $5,000 = $1,435
  • ROI: ($1,435 ÷ $5,000) × 100 = 28.7%

📉 Losing Investment

Scenario: Invested 2 ETH in a project when ETH was $3,000. After 6 months, ETH price dropped to $2,200 with 1.5% fees.

Calculation:

  • Initial Investment: 2 ETH × $3,000 = $6,000
  • Current Value: 2 ETH × $2,200 = $4,400
  • Transaction Fees: 1.5% of $4,400 = $66
  • Net Value: $4,400 - $66 = $4,334
  • Loss: $4,334 - $6,000 = -$1,666
  • ROI: (-$1,666 ÷ $6,000) × 100 = -27.77%

Formulas & Algorithms

The calculator uses these formulas:

1. Initial Investment Calculation

  • If investing in fiat (USD/EUR):
    Crypto Amount = Investment Amount ÷ Purchase Price per Coin
  • If investing in crypto (BTC/ETH):
    Investment Amount (USD) = Crypto Amount × Purchase Price per Coin

2. Current Value Calculation

Current Value = Crypto Amount × Current Price per Coin

3. Fee Calculation

Fees = (Current Value × Fee Percentage) ÷ 100

4. Net Value Calculation

Net Value = Current Value - Fees

5. Profit/Loss Calculation

Profit/Loss = Net Value - Initial Investment (USD)

6. ROI Calculation

ROI % = (Profit/Loss ÷ Initial Investment) × 100

7. Annualized Return Calculation

Annualized ROI = [(1 + ROI/100)^(12/Holding Period) - 1] × 100

FAQ Section

1. Why do I need to input both investment amount and crypto amount?

The calculator accepts either input method. If you know how much fiat currency you invested, enter that. If you know exactly how much crypto you purchased, enter that instead. The calculator will compute the missing value automatically.

2. How are transaction fees calculated?

Fees are calculated as a percentage of your current investment value (not the initial investment). This simulates real-world exchange withdrawal or trading fees that are typically charged when you sell your crypto.

3. What if I made multiple purchases at different prices?

This calculator handles single transactions. For multiple purchases (DCA), you'll need to calculate your average buy price first, then use that as your purchase price in this calculator.

4. How does the holding period affect results?

The holding period is used to calculate annualized returns, which shows what your equivalent yearly return would be if held for that time period. This allows comparison between investments held for different durations.

5. Can I use this for stablecoins or DeFi yields?

Yes, but it's primarily designed for price appreciation calculations. For yield-bearing assets, you'll need to manually include your earned interest in the "current value" field.

6. Why are my results different from my exchange's report?

Exchanges may use different calculation methods, especially for fees. Some platforms calculate fees differently or may not include withdrawal fees in their ROI calculations. This tool provides a more comprehensive analysis.

7. Is this suitable for tax reporting?

While this can help estimate capital gains/losses, always consult a tax professional for official reporting. Tax rules vary by country and may have special considerations for crypto.

8. How accurate are the annualized return calculations?

Annualized returns assume compound growth, which is standard in financial analysis. However, crypto markets are volatile, and past performance doesn't guarantee future results.

9. Can I calculate returns for crypto-to-crypto trades?

Yes, select the appropriate currencies from the dropdowns. The calculator will convert everything to USD equivalents for comparison.

10. What's the best way to track multiple investments?

For portfolio tracking, consider dedicated apps like CoinMarketCap Portfolio, Delta, or Koinly. This calculator is designed for individual investment analysis.
