Crypto Futures PnL Calculator
See exactly what a leveraged futures trade earns or costs you. Set your direction, entry and exit, position size, and leverage to get profit/loss, return on margin (ROE), and the margin you put up.
Long profits when price rises; short profits when it falls.
The price you open the position at.
The price you close the position at.
How many coins (contracts) the position controls.
Higher leverage shrinks your margin but magnifies both gains and losses.
A long from $30,000.00 to $33,000.00 on 1 coin returns $3,000.00 — a +100% return on your $3,000.00 margin.

How Futures PnL and ROE Are Calculated
Your raw profit or loss is the price move in your favour times your position size. The full position value (notional) is your entry price times size, and the margin you actually post is that notional divided by your leverage. ROE measures PnL against the small margin you put up, while ROI measures it against the full position — which is why leverage makes ROE so much larger than ROI.
Key Terms at a Glance
| Concept | What it means |
|---|---|
| Notional | Full position value — entry price × size. |
| Margin | The capital you post — notional ÷ leverage. |
| ROE | PnL relative to your margin (return on equity). |
| ROI | PnL relative to the full notional value. |
Frequently Asked Questions
ROE (return on equity) is your profit or loss measured against the margin you actually posted, not the full position. Because leverage lets a small margin control a large position, a modest price move can produce a very large ROE — in both directions.
Leverage does not change your raw PnL in dollars — that depends only on the price move and your size. What it changes is the margin you post: higher leverage means less margin, so the same dollar PnL becomes a far larger ROE. The flip side is that a small adverse move can wipe out a high-leverage margin and trigger liquidation.
ROI measures PnL against the full notional value of the position, so it reflects the underlying price move (a 10% move is roughly 10% ROI). ROE measures the same PnL against your margin, so it is the ROI multiplied by your leverage. At 10×, a +10% ROI shows up as a +100% ROE.
No. This calculator shows gross PnL from the price move alone. Real results are reduced by taker/maker trading fees and, on perpetual contracts, by funding payments that accrue while the position is open. Subtract those costs to estimate your net outcome.
