Calculate your cryptocurrency trading profit or loss with fees included
Trading fees are charged by cryptocurrency exchanges when you buy and sell. These fees reduce your profit or increase your loss.
Common Fee Structures:
• Coinbase: 0.5% - 1.5% per trade
• Binance: 0.1% per trade (lower with BNB)
• Kraken: 0.16% - 0.26% per trade
• Gemini: 0.5% - 1.49% per trade
The break-even price is the minimum sell price needed to recover your initial investment plus all fees.
This is always higher than your buy price because you need to cover both buy and sell fees.
Example: Buy at $30,000 with 0.5% fees → Break-even is ~$30,300 (1% total fees)
• Minimize Fees: Use limit orders instead of market orders when possible
• Fee Discounts: Many exchanges offer lower fees with their native tokens (BNB, FTT)
• Volume Tiers: Higher trading volume often means lower fees
• Withdrawal Fees: Don't forget network fees when moving crypto off exchanges
• Tax Implications: Keep records - crypto trades are taxable events in most countries
• Ignoring Fees: Small percentages add up, especially on frequent trades
• Day Trading: Multiple daily trades can eat 5-10% in fees alone
• Small Trades: Fees hit harder on small amounts - batch your trades when possible
• Network Fees: Gas fees (especially Ethereum) can exceed trading profit on small amounts
