What this result means
Your ROI result will show whether the tested price creates a profit or loss after estimated trading fees. Use the break-even price and fee drag before deciding whether to hold, sell, average down or test a different scenario.

Your calculation

Amount invested includes the buy fee. Net amount used to buy tokens = amount invested - buy fee.
Token amount-Estimated units purchased after the buy fee.
Break-even price-Approximate price needed to recover cost after fees.
Price move-Change from buy price to the tested price.
Fee drag-ROI reduction from buy and sell fees.
How this calculation works
Inputs
Token symbol, amount invested, average buy price, manually entered current or target price, buy fee and sell fee.
Processing
The calculator treats Amount Invested as total cash spent, subtracts the buy fee before estimating token amount, deducts the sell fee from exit value, then compares net value with the original amount.
Outputs
Net value, profit or loss, ROI percentage, token amount, break-even price, fee drag and price move.
Next steps
Turn the ROI number into a decision
Use the net return as a starting point, then test recovery price, fees, historical timing and DCA before making the next move.

Methodology
How this Crypto ROI calculator works
A crypto ROI calculator should translate a token price move into a position-level outcome. Price change alone can be misleading because buy fees reduce the amount that actually buys tokens and sell fees reduce the final exit value. This page separates token amount, gross value, net value, profit or loss, ROI, fee drag and break-even price.
Formula: buyFeeAmount = amountInvested x buyFeeRate. netAmountToBuy = amountInvested - buyFeeAmount. tokenAmount = netAmountToBuy / buyPrice. grossValue = tokenAmount x currentPrice. sellFeeAmount = grossValue x sellFeeRate. netValue = grossValue - sellFeeAmount. ROI = (netValue - amountInvested) / amountInvested x 100.
Example: with $1,000 invested, a $50,000 BTC buy price, a $65,000 target price, a 0.1% buy fee and a 0.1% sell fee, the net amount used to buy BTC is $999. The estimated token amount is 0.01998 BTC, gross value is $1,298.70, net value after the sell fee is about $1,297.40, profit is about $297.40 and ROI is about 29.74%.
Use this calculator when reviewing an existing crypto trade, testing a target exit price, checking fee-adjusted profit or comparing a result with a what-if scenario. It does not fetch live market prices, so the price inputs should come from your own quote, exchange screen or scenario assumption.
The result should be treated as a planning estimate, not a guaranteed return. It does not include taxes, gas costs, funding fees, staking rewards, liquidity limits or order-book slippage. After checking ROI, compare the result with break-even price, DCA timing and exchange fees before making a decision.

Crypto nuance
Why crypto ROI is often misunderstood
Crypto ROI is not the same as token price change. A coin can rise 30%, while the position returns slightly less because trading fees reduce both the purchased token amount and the exit value. On-chain trades can add gas, decentralized exchange swaps can add slippage, and taxable events can change the final after-tax result.
This is why Lamppoli shows the position-level outcome instead of only the headline move. The useful decision is not “did the token go up?” but “what did I actually end up with, what price gets me back to break-even, and how much did fees change the result?”
FAQ
Crypto ROI Calculator FAQ
What is a crypto ROI calculator?
A crypto ROI calculator estimates profit, loss and return percentage from a crypto position. It uses amount invested, buy price, current or target price and trading fees to calculate net value, token amount, ROI and break-even price.
Does crypto ROI include fees?
It should. Without fees, ROI can overstate the real result. This calculator subtracts the buy fee before estimating token amount and subtracts the sell fee from the final value.
Why is my ROI lower than the token price change?
Your ROI can be lower because trading fees reduce both the amount used to buy tokens and the final exit value. Slippage, spread, gas fees and taxes can reduce the real outcome further.
What is break-even price in crypto?
Break-even price is the approximate token price needed to recover your original investment after fees. It is usually slightly higher than the buy price when trading fees are included.
Can I use this for Bitcoin, Ethereum or any token?
Yes. You can choose a common asset or enter a custom ticker. The calculator uses manual prices, so it can estimate ROI for any token if you provide the price assumptions.
Does this calculator include taxes?
No. Taxes are not included because they depend on jurisdiction, holding period and personal circumstances. Review taxes separately before relying on a final net return.
Is the current price live?
No. Prices are entered manually. This makes the calculator useful for both current prices and target-price scenarios, but it does not replace a live market quote.
Is ROI enough to decide whether to buy or sell?
No. ROI is only one metric. It does not show liquidity risk, drawdowns, token unlocks, taxes or future price movement. Use it as a planning estimate.
