What this tool does
The tool answers the question: how much does this trade actually make or lose after fees and funding? Enter the exchange, order type (maker/taker), direction, entry, exit, leverage and margin — the tool computes gross P&L, total fees, funding cost, net P&L, ROE and the break-even price. Turn on the funding section to see the cost of holding a position overnight.
This is the tool to use before entering a trade: you know in advance how far price must move just to break even after fees, and how funding eats into profit.
How to use
Choose the exchange & order type
Pick an exchange to load the correct maker/taker fees. Use maker (limit) orders to save on fees — e.g. MEXC maker is 0%.
Set direction & leverage
A long profits when price rises; a short profits when price falls. Leverage multiplies both gains and losses. 10x means a 10% move ≈ 100% ROE.
Enter entry, exit & margin
Entry is the fill price. Exit is your target or the actual close. Margin is the collateral — not your whole balance.
Add funding (optional)
Enter the planned holding time and the current funding rate to see the real cost of holding a leveraged position overnight or for several days.
The formula (in words)
Quantity (qty) = (Margin × Leverage) ÷ Entry
Gross P&L = (Exit − Entry) × qty (long)
Gross P&L = (Entry − Exit) × qty (short)
Total fees = (Entry × qty × Fee) + (Exit × qty × Fee)
Funding cost = Position value × Funding rate × number of 8h intervals
Net P&L = Gross P&L − Total fees − Funding cost
ROE = Net P&L ÷ Margin × 100%
Break-even price = the exit price at which net P&L is zero after all fees and funding.

The short receives funding because the rate is positive; 0% maker means fees are zero. Click “Try example” in the tool to reproduce this exact scenario.
Limits
- P&L is an estimate based on a simplified formula — it ignores slippage, partial fills and account-specific fee tiers.
- Funding is calculated only from the rate you enter, assumed constant across intervals; real funding changes every 8 hours.
- ROE and %P&L on margin in this tool use the same formula (Net P&L ÷ Margin) — the two labels show the same number.
- The tool assumes isolated margin and ignores the possibility that the exchange rounds funding differently.
Frequently asked questions
How is crypto futures profit calculated?
Profit = (Exit − Entry) × Quantity for a long, or (Entry − Exit) × Quantity for a short. Quantity = (Margin × Leverage) ÷ Entry. Then subtract the entry fee, exit fee and funding cost to get net P&L.
What is ROE in crypto futures?
ROE (Return on Equity) = Net P&L ÷ Margin × 100%. It measures profit against the capital you actually posted. A 10% price move at 10x leverage gives ~100% ROE before fees — but fees and funding reduce that figure.
How do trading fees affect futures profit?
Fees are charged on both entry and exit. On Bybit with a 0.055% taker fee, a $10,000 position costs $5.50 to open and ~$5.50 to close = $11. On a 1% profit ($100), fees eat 11% of gross P&L. Using maker (limit) orders is significantly cheaper.
What is the break-even price in futures?
The break-even price is the exit price at which net P&L is zero after all fees and funding. For a long: Break-even = Entry + (2 × Entry × Fee) + (Funding cost ÷ Quantity). You must exit above this price to be in profit.
How does the funding rate affect profit?
Funding is paid every 8 hours. If the rate is 0.01% and you hold a $10,000 long for 24 hours (3 intervals), you pay $3 in funding. For small positions it is minor, but at high leverage over several days, funding can erode profit or turn a winning trade into a loss.
