Calculating your Return on Investment (ROI) for cryptocurrency requires accounting for your purchase price, sale price, trading fees, and taxes. Unlike traditional investments, crypto trades incur fees on both the buy and sell side, and the tax treatment depends on your holding period.
DCA means buying a fixed dollar amount of crypto on a regular schedule regardless of price. Studies show DCA outperforms lump-sum investing in volatile markets like crypto, reducing the impact of poor timing and emotional decisions.

Crypto ROI compares your exit value to what you put in.
A crypto position bought for $5,000 now valued at $8,000.
Result: ROI = 3,000 ÷ 5,000 = +60%.
A position bought at $10,000 that fell to $6,500.
Result: ROI = −35% — it must rise ~54% from here to break even.
Investing $200/month for 12 months ($2,400 total) at varying prices.
Result: Your average cost smooths volatility; ROI = (current value − $2,400) ÷ $2,400.
Subtract your total cost (including fees) from current value, divide by cost, and multiply by 100.
Yes — selling or trading crypto is usually a taxable event. Track your cost basis.
Very volatile — only invest what you can afford to lose, and diversify.
