Profit Calculators — How Much You Made, and Whether You Really Made It
Eyeballed returns always look better than real ones. Usually the fees were never deducted, or averaging down quietly raised the entry price, or a three-year gain is being read as a one-year return. The calculators in this category exist to strip that illusion out and show the actual number.
The DCA calculator replays historical prices to show what your regular contributions would be worth today; the HODL calculator does the same for a single purchase date. Realised profit on trades you have already closed comes from the P&L calculator, fees included, and the ROI calculator annualises the return so holding periods of different lengths can be compared. If you are still buying in instalments, the average price calculator shows where your next purchase would move your average entry.

When You Would Use These
- Before starting a regular-contribution plan, to see how the same monthly amount would have played out historically

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the DCA calculator's historical return repeat in future?
No. It replays past prices and nothing more; the same strategy carries no guarantee of the same outcome. It is more useful for seeing how much the result swings when you change the contribution interval and the period.
Why does the annualised return differ from the simple return?
A simple return ignores time. Gaining 30% over three years and gaining 30% in six months are very different results; the annualised figure rebases both to one year so they can be compared.
How far are fees taken into account?
The P&L calculator lets you enter fees on both the buy and the sell side. For the real rates, take the numbers from the exchange fee comparison and plug them in.
