Enter your total investment in USD — the total amount you spent to buy ADA.
Enter your buy price — the price per ADA when you purchased. ADA often trades below $1, so enter the full decimal price e.g. 0.10.
Enter your sell price — the current or target price per ADA. Use the live market price for unrealised P&L.
Enter your exchange fees — most exchanges charge 0.1%–0.5% per trade. Cardano on-chain transaction fees are around $0.17 and are separate from exchange fees.
Select your holding period — under 1 year is short-term (ordinary income tax rates), over 1 year qualifies for lower long-term capital gains rates.
Select your tax rate for an after-tax profit estimate. All figures update instantly as you type.
Example: You invested $2,000 in ADA at $0.10 per ADA and sold at $3.00. ADA purchased = $2,000 ÷ $0.10 = 20,000 ADA. Gross proceeds = 20,000 × $3.00 = $60,000. Buy fee (0.1%) = $2.00. Sell fee (0.1%) = $60.00. Cost basis = $2,002. Net proceeds = $59,940. Net profit = $57,938. ROI = 2,894.31%. Break-even price = $0.1002. At 22% short-term tax rate: tax = $12,746.36, after-tax profit = $45,191.64.
| NAME | FORMULA | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| ADA Amount | Investment ÷ Buy Price | ADA tokens purchased for your investment |
| Cost Basis | Investment + (Investment × Buy Fee %) | Total cost including buy-side exchange fee |
| Gross Proceeds | ADA Amount × Sell Price | Total value before sell fee deduction |
| Net Proceeds | Gross Proceeds − (Gross Proceeds × Sell Fee %) | Amount received after sell-side fee |
| Net P&L | Net Proceeds − Cost Basis | Actual profit or loss after all fees |
| ROI | (Net P&L ÷ Cost Basis) × 100 | Return on investment as a percentage |
| Break-Even | Cost Basis ÷ (ADA Amount × (1 − Sell Fee %)) | Sell price needed to exactly recover your cost basis |
| Tax Estimate | max(Net P&L, 0) × Tax Rate | Estimated capital gains tax on profitable trades |
| After-Tax Profit | Net P&L − Tax Estimate | Profit remaining after estimated tax payment |
