Precise crypto math, zero hype
Cryptocurrency math differs from traditional investing in three practical ways: fees are larger (typically 0.1 – 1.5% per trade versus negligible stock commissions), volatility is higher (70 – 80% drawdowns are historically normal), and tax accounting is more complex (the IRS treats crypto as property, so every swap is a taxable event). Each of our four crypto calculators addresses a specific decision in this environment.
The Crypto Profit/Loss Calculator takes buy and sell prices, quantity, and percentage fees, and returns gross profit, net profit, total fees, effective return, and the break-even sell price that would exactly cover fees. For investors deploying capital gradually rather than all at once, the Crypto DCA Calculator tracks average cost basis across recurring purchases and compares it to the current market price to show unrealised profit or loss.
Proof-of-stake holders can use the Staking Rewards Calculator to project compound yield with adjustable APY and compounding frequency. Current Ethereum staking yields 3 – 5%, Solana 6 – 8%, Cardano 3 – 5%, and Cosmos-family chains sometimes exceed 15%. Higher yields often indicate higher protocol inflation, so we model USD value growth at the assumed APY while separately reporting the approximate token quantity earned.
The Impermanent Loss Calculator addresses a risk unique to liquidity providers in constant-product AMMs (Uniswap V2-style pools). When paired token prices diverge, the pool rebalances your position, leaving you with a different mix of tokens than you started with. The calculator uses the standard formula IL = 2 × √ratio / (1 + ratio) − 1 and reports both the percentage loss and the dollar difference versus simply holding the tokens.
