How to use this calculator

Enter your invested amount, expected buy price, and target sell price. Adjust the holding period if you want a multi-year framing. The tool estimates total return, profit, and multiple on capital based on the prices you provide. Use it to compare scenarios—not to predict the market.

Worked example

If you invest $5,000 at a $65,000 buy price and later model a $150,000 sell price, your capital multiple is 150000 / 65000 ≈ 2.31×. That implies roughly $11,550 before fees and taxes, or about $6,550 profit on the $5,000 stake. Changing either price point reshapes the outcome immediately, which makes sensitivity testing easy.

How to interpret ROI

ROI here is a straightforward price-change model. It does not automatically include trading fees, funding rates, slippage, or tax lots. Crypto markets can move violently in both directions, so a high projected ROI can reverse quickly. Treat aggressive upside cases as illustrations of risk as much as opportunity.

Responsible usage tips

Size positions you can afford to lose, diversify beyond a single asset, and avoid assuming linear growth every year. If you use live market references, still verify prices and account for spreads. Pair ROI goals with an exit plan and downside case before acting.
