Calculate Your Potential Futures Trading Profit and Loss

When trading cryptocurrency futures with leverage, understanding your potential profit or loss is crucial for making informed decisions. Our futures PnL calculator helps you estimate the outcomes of your trades based on various price scenarios.

Whether you're going long (betting the price will rise) or short (betting the price will fall), this calculator will show you how much you stand to gain or lose based on your entry price, leverage, and predicted exit price.

What This Calculator Shows You:

Estimated profit or loss for a given price movement
The effect of leverage on your potential returns
Your liquidation price (the point at which you'd lose your entire margin)
Your total position size based on margin and leverage

How the Futures PnL Calculator Works

Our calculator uses a straightforward formula to estimate your potential profit or loss on a leveraged futures position:

Long Position

For a long position (betting price will increase):

PnL = Margin × Leverage × (Exit Price - Entry Price) / Entry Price

Short Position

For a short position (betting price will decrease):

PnL = Margin × Leverage × (Entry Price - Exit Price) / Entry Price

The calculator also shows your estimated liquidation price, which is the price level where your position would be forcibly closed, resulting in the loss of your entire margin. This is an essential figure to know to manage your risk effectively.

Understanding Your Calculation Results

Profit/Loss Amount and Percentage

The calculator shows your estimated profit or loss both as a dollar amount and as a percentage of your initial margin. This helps you understand your return on investment (ROI).

Leverage Effect

The calculator clearly illustrates how leverage amplifies both potential profits and losses. A small price movement becomes a much larger percentage change in your margin due to the leverage factor.

Liquidation Price

The estimated price at which your position would be forcibly closed (liquidated) is shown to help you understand your risk. The distance between your entry price and liquidation price narrows as leverage increases.

Example Scenario

Let's say you invest $100 with 10x leverage on a long Bitcoin position at $60,000:

Your position size is $1,000 ($100 × 10x)
If Bitcoin rises 5% to $63,000, your profit would be approximately $50 (50% return on your $100)
If Bitcoin falls 5% to $57,000, your loss would be approximately $50 (50% loss on your $100)
If Bitcoin falls about 10%, you'd approach your liquidation price and risk losing your entire $100

Risk Warning and Considerations

Important: Trading futures with leverage involves substantial risk. You can lose your entire investment quickly. This calculator is for educational purposes only.

While our calculator provides valuable estimates, please consider these additional factors that affect your actual trading results:

Trading Fees: Exchanges charge fees for opening and closing positions, which reduce your profit or increase your loss.
Funding Rates: Perpetual futures contracts have periodic funding rates that can be positive or negative, affecting your profitability.
Market Volatility: Rapid price movements can trigger liquidation before you have a chance to react.
Slippage: During volatile markets, your orders might execute at different prices than expected.
Risk Management: Always use proper risk management techniques and consider setting stop-loss orders.

Responsible Trading Tips

Start with small positions and low leverage while learning.
Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Use stop-loss orders to limit potential losses.
Consider the liquidation price before entering a position.
Practice with a demo account before using real funds.
Don't chase losses by increasing position size or leverage.

"The greatest risks in futures trading often come from excessive leverage. Be conservative with your position sizing and leverage to protect your capital."
