Q: What is DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging)?

DCA is an investment strategy where you invest a fixed amount regularly, regardless of price. This reduces the impact of volatility by averaging your purchase price over time, rather than trying to time the market.

Calculate cryptocurrency gains, losses, and ROI

Cryptocurrency

↓Buy Details

↑Sell / Current Price

Current Market Price

Sell Price (if sold)

Sell Fee (optional)

💡 Tips:

Include exchange and network fees for accurate calculations
Track your holding period for tax purposes (short-term vs long-term)
Consider using DCA to reduce entry price volatility

Understanding Crypto Profit Calculation

Basic Formula


Profit = (Sell Price × Quantity) - (Buy Price × Quantity) - Fees
ROI = (Profit / Initial Investment) × 100


Break-Even Price


Break-Even = Total Cost (including fees) / Quantity

Example Calculation

| Bought | Price | Investment | 0.5 BTC$40,000$20,000 | Total | - | $20,050 |

If BTC is now $50,000:

Current Value: 0.5 × $50,000 = $25,000
Profit: $25,000 - $20,050 = $4,950
ROI: ($4,950 / $20,050) × 100 = 24.7%

Tax Considerations

Short-term vs Long-term Gains

Short-term (< 1 year): Taxed as ordinary income
Long-term (> 1 year): Lower capital gains rates

Important Records to Keep

1. Date of purchase 2. Purchase price and quantity 3. Date of sale 4. Sale price and fees 5. Exchange records

Investment Strategies

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate crypto profit?

Crypto profit = (Current Value - Initial Investment). If you bought 0.5 BTC at $40,000 ($20,000 total) and it's now worth $50,000 each ($25,000 total), your profit is $5,000 or 25% ROI.

Do I need to pay taxes on crypto gains?

In most countries, yes. Cryptocurrency is typically treated as property, and selling for a profit triggers capital gains tax. Short-term gains (held < 1 year) are usually taxed higher than long-term gains. Consult a tax professional.
