How profit is calculated

Your buy fee comes out first, so $1,000 with a 1% fee buys $990 worth of coins. When you sell, the sell fee comes out of the proceeds. Profit is what you receive minus the $1,000 you spent.

The break-even price is the sell price at which you get back exactly what you put in, after both fees. With 1% on each side, a coin has to rise about 2% before you're ahead.

Fees add up faster than you think

Round trips on high-fee platforms can cost 3% to 8% in total. If you trade often, look at the advanced trading screens on Kraken or Coinbase, where fees are a fraction of the one-tap buy price.
