Profit & PnL Calculator

How profit & PnL is calculated

Leverage multiplies both your exposure and your risk. This calculator shows the real return on the funds you put up.

• Position value = margin × leverage.
• Units = position value ÷ entry price.
• PnL = (exit − entry) × units for a long, reversed for a short.
• Return on funds = PnL ÷ the margin you staked.

A 10× position turns a 5% move into a ~50% swing on your stake — in both directions. Always pair leverage with a stop-loss.

A worked example

Put up $1,000 of your own funds at 10× and you control a $10,000 position. At an entry of $60,000 that buys about 0.1667 coins. If the pair climbs to $63,000, a 5% rise, your gain is roughly $500 — a 50% return on the cash you staked.

Flip the move the other way and the loss is just as large. Short the same trade and the signs reverse. Reading both outcomes before you click helps you pick a stake you can sit with when the candle turns against you.

New to borrowed exposure? The regulator's note on crypto asset risk and volatility is worth a quick read.

Use it as a quick sanity check before you commit. Punch in the numbers from an alert, glance at the loss column as well as the gain, and ask whether that downside fits your plan. If the red figure makes you wince, trim the leverage or the stake until the position feels calm.
