What the Crypto Futures P&L Calculator does

Futures P&L is the price move multiplied by position size, exactly as in spot. What leverage changes is the return on equity: because you posted only a fraction of the notional as margin, a small price move produces a large percentage return on that margin — in both directions.

Formula

Gross P&L = (Exit − Entry) × Quantity, reversed for a short
Fees = (Entry notional + Exit notional) × Fee rate
Margin = Entry notional ÷ Leverage
ROE = Net P&L ÷ Margin × 100

Worked example

Long 0.5 BTC at $60,000, exit $63,000, 10× leverage, 0.04% fees.

Position: Long
Entry: 60000
Exit: 63000
Quantity: 0.5
Leverage: 10

Gross $1,500, fees $24.60, net $1,475.40 on $3,000 margin — 49.2% ROE from a 5% price move.

Frequently asked questions

Why is ROE so much bigger than the price move?

Because leverage divides your margin into the notional. A 5% move at 10× leverage is a 50% return on margin — and a 5% adverse move is a 50% loss.

What are maker and taker fees?

Maker orders add liquidity to the book and are cheaper, sometimes rebated. Taker orders remove liquidity and cost more. Limit orders that rest on the book are usually maker.
