How to calculate your crypto profit
To calculate your crypto gains and losses, apply this simple formula:
Profit or Loss = Sale Price - Purchase Price
Here, the Sale Price is the fair market value of your cryptocurrency at the time of sale, minus any associated disposal fees. The Purchase Price is the fair market value of your crypto at the time you acquired it, plus any fees incurred during the purchase.
What is the best percentage to take profit in crypto?
The “right” profit target depends on your personal strategy. Some traders lock in gains once a coin rises by 20% or 50%, while others scale out gradually, selling small blocks as the price rises. You can also anchor your goal to a traditional benchmark like the S&P 500 and try to outperform by a point or two.
Whatever target you choose, remember that crypto typically swings far more than stocks, and every sale creates a taxable event.
Reinvesting in crypto profits
Reinvesting crypto profits can compound gains (when the market trends up, of course). Selling or trading your crypto to reinvest triggers capital gains tax on any profits made.
For US taxpayers, profits on assets held for less than a year are subject to short-term capital gains tax, which is typically higher than the long-term rate. Before reinvesting, we strongly recommend setting aside funds for any tax liabilities.
