Example: You invested $1,000 in LTC at $50.00 per LTC and sold at $410.00. LTC purchased = $1,000 ÷ $50.00 = 20 LTC. Gross proceeds = 20 × $410.00 = $8,200. Buy fee (0.1%) = $1.00. Sell fee (0.1%) = $8.20. Cost basis = $1,001. Net proceeds = $8,191.80. Net profit = $7,190.80. ROI = 718.36%. Break-even price = $50.10. At 22% short-term tax rate: tax = $1,581.98, after-tax profit = $5,608.82.
| NAME | FORMULA | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| LTC Amount | Investment ÷ Buy Price | LTC tokens purchased for your investment |
| Cost Basis | Investment + (Investment × Buy Fee %) | Total cost including buy-side exchange fee |
| Gross Proceeds | LTC 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 ÷ (LTC Amount × (1 − Sell Fee %)) | Sell price needed to exactly recover your cost basis |
| Halving Cycle | Every 840,000 blocks (~4 years) | Block reward halves from 12.5 → 6.25 → 3.125 LTC per block |
| 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 |
