Understanding Crypto Profit Calculation
Calculating profit from cryptocurrency investments involves comparing your total cost basis against your total sale proceeds, factoring in all transaction fees. This helps you understand your net gain or loss.
Key Concepts
- Total Cost Basis: The total amount spent to acquire your crypto, including purchase price and any transaction/gas fees.
- Total Sale Proceeds: The total amount received when you sell your crypto.
- Capital Gain/Loss: The difference between your total sale proceeds and your total cost basis, *minus* any additional fees (like selling fees).
