Calculate your trading profits, fees, and net returns with leverage

The Future Trading Calculator helps traders estimate potential profits, losses, and liquidation levels when trading crypto futures with leverage.
Whether you trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, or altcoins, this tool is perfect for both beginners and professionals.
Step 1: Enter your entry price — the rate at which you open your position.
Step 2: Enter your exit price — the rate at which you close your position.
Step 3: Add your position size (number of contracts or units).
Step 4: Select leverage (e.g., 5x, 10x, 20x).
Step 5: Add entry and exit fees charged by your exchange.
Step 6: Click “Calculate” to see instant results — profit, return percentage, and liquidation estimate.
The basic futures profit/loss formula is:
Profit = (Position Size × (Exit Price – Entry Price)) × Leverage – Fees
Example:
If you enter a long trade on Bitcoin at $20,000, close at $22,000, with 1 BTC, and use 10× leverage, then:
Profit = (1 × (22,000 – 20,000)) × 10 = $20,000
After subtracting fees, your net profit ≈ $19,960.
When you trade with leverage, your liquidation price is the point at which your collateral can’t cover potential losses.
To estimate it:
Liquidation Price ≈ Entry Price × (1 – 1 / Leverage) (for long trades)
Liquidation Price ≈ Entry Price × (1 + 1 / Leverage) (for short trades)
Higher leverage means higher risk — even a small market move can wipe out your position.
💡 Use the Future Trading Calculator to check how close your trade is to liquidation before entering any position.

Futures allow you to profit from both rising and falling markets, but they require careful risk management.
1. Margin:
The amount of collateral required to open a leveraged trade.
2. Leverage:
A multiplier that increases both profit and loss potential.
3. Liquidation:
Automatic closure of your position when losses exceed your margin.
4. Funding Rate:
A periodic fee exchanged between long and short traders to keep futures prices aligned with spot prices.
Start Small: Practice with small leverage until you’re confident.
Set Stop-Loss Orders: Protect your position from unexpected price swings.
Avoid Overleverage: High leverage magnifies both gains and losses.
Track Your Performance: Use tools like Future Trading Calculator to monitor every trade and refine your strategy.
Stay Updated: Follow market news and funding rate changes regularly.
Let’s say you open a long BTC futures position:
Entry Price: $30,000
Exit Price: $31,500
Position Size: 1 BTC
Leverage: 10x
Fees: 0.1% each side
Profit = (1 × (31,500 – 30,000)) × 10 = $15,000
After fees ≈ $14,970 net profit.
This means your initial margin of $3,000 (10× leverage) turned into $17,970 in value — a 499% return.
Futures platforms (like Binance Futures, Bybit, OKX) usually charge:
Maker Fee: ~ 0.02%
Taker Fee: ~ 0.04%
Funding Rate: Varies hourly or every 8 hours
These small fees can accumulate, especially when trading with high leverage — always factor them in with the Future Trading Calculator.
In many countries, profits from futures are treated as capital gains or derivatives income.
