Bitcoin (BTC) Trading Cost Breakdown
Cryptocurrency exchanges charge various fees that directly reduce your profit. When trading BTC, you need to account for:
- Maker / Taker Fees: Typically 0.1% – 0.5% per trade, depending on your exchange and VIP tier
- Spread: The difference between bid and ask prices, which acts as a hidden fee
- Network (Gas) Fees: Required for on-chain transfers of BTC
- Withdrawal Fees: Charged when moving BTC off the exchange
Why 24/7 Markets Make Calculators Essential
Unlike stocks, BTC trades around the clock, including weekends and holidays. This means price can move significantly between your buy orders, making average cost tracking more complex. Many BTC holders accumulate through Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) — buying small amounts regularly. Our Average Down calculator helps you track your true average cost across dozens of buy positions.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bitcoin (BTC)
How do I calculate Bitcoin (BTC) profit after fees?▼
To calculate your BTC net profit: (Sell Price − Buy Price) × Quantity − Total Fees. Exchange fees typically range from 0.1% (Binance) to 0.6% (Coinbase) per trade. Don't forget to account for both the buy and sell side fees. Our calculator handles this automatically — just enter your buy price, sell price, quantity, and fee percentage.
How is BTC taxed?▼

Short-term gains are taxed as ordinary income (up to 37%). In Korea, crypto gains above ₩2.5M are taxed at 22%. Japan taxes crypto as miscellaneous income at rates up to 55%. Each transaction — including trading BTC for another crypto — is a taxable event.
What is the best time to buy BTC?▼

Weekends sometimes have lower liquidity, which can cause larger price swings. Many investors use Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) to avoid timing the market.
How do I calculate my BTC average buy price?▼
If you've bought BTC at different prices (DCA strategy), your average buy price = (Total $ Invested) ÷ (Total BTC Owned). For example, if you bought 0.5 BTC at $97,000 and 0.5 BTC at $77,600, your average is $87,300. Our Average Down calculator handles unlimited positions and factors in fees per transaction.
What are the risks of investing in BTC?▼
Bitcoin is classified as High risk. Key risks include: price volatility (10%+ daily swings occur regularly), regulatory uncertainty (governments may restrict trading), exchange hacks or insolvency, and smart contract vulnerabilities for DeFi interactions. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Should I hold BTC long-term or trade short-term?▼
Bitcoin's long-term outlook depends on its utility and adoption. Many investors use a core-satellite approach: holding a core position long-term while trading a smaller portion for short-term gains. Either way, knowing your exact cost basis and break-even point is essential for making informed sell decisions.
