How it works
A trade's profit is the price difference times the quantity held: (sell − buy) × quantity. Buy 0.5 BTC at 40,000 and sell at 52,000 and the gain is 6,000. The ROI puts that in perspective as a percentage of what you actually risked: 30% here. ROI matters more than the raw amount, because it is the only figure that compares trades of different sizes. A 500 gain on a 1,000 position (50%) is a far better trade than a 2,000 gain on a 100,000 position (2%). This calculation is gross: exchange trading fees, network/withdrawal fees and the spread all eat into it, and in many countries capital gains are taxable. Note too that a paper gain is not a realised one — nothing is earned until the position is actually closed.

Frequently asked questions
How is crypto profit calculated?
Multiply the price difference per unit by the quantity: (sell − buy) × quantity.
Does it include fees?
No — exchange and network fees reduce real profit; subtract them separately.
Is my profit taxable?
In most countries, realised crypto gains are subject to capital gains tax. Rules and rates vary widely — keep a record of every buy and sell price, and check your local tax authority's guidance.
