Free profit & loss calculator for traders

Know your exact potential profit or loss before clicking buy or sell. This calculator accounts for entry price, exit price, position size, spread, and commissions to give you the true P&L of any trade.

How to use this calculator

Step 1: Enter your entry price and exit price. Step 2: Enter your position size. Step 3: Add any commissions or spread costs. The calculator shows your net profit or loss.

P&L Calculator

Stock example: Buy 100 shares at $50, sell at $55. Gross P&L = 100 × $5 = $500. Commission $10 round trip. Net P&L = $490

Forex example: Long 1 lot EUR/USD at 1.1000, close at 1.1080. P&L = 80 pips × $10 = $800. Spread cost 1 pip = $10. Swap -$5. Net P&L = $785

Crypto example: Buy 0.5 BTC at $60,000, sell at $63,000. P&L = 0.5 × $3,000 = $1,500. Fee 0.1% × 2 = $123. Net P&L = $1,377

Why pre-trade P&L calculation matters

Many traders focus on gross profit and forget about transaction costs. In forex, a 2-pip spread on every trade adds up to hundreds of dollars per month for active traders. In crypto, exchange fees of 0.1-0.5% per trade can significantly reduce returns on frequent trading.

Hidden costs to include

Spread: The difference between bid and ask. Commissions: Broker fees per trade. Swap/overnight financing: Cost of holding leveraged positions overnight. Currency conversion: If your trade profit is in a different currency than your account. Slippage: The difference between expected and actual execution price.
