Using the Ethereum Classic Profit Calculator
This calculator works out what a ETC trade actually made after fees. Enter the price you bought ETC at, the price you sold (or would sell) at, and how many coins you hold — the profit, ROI percentage and total fee cost update as you type. The price fields load the live ETC market price when the page opens, so you can start from a realistic number instead of a placeholder.
Fees matter more than most people expect on ETC. ETC gas is far cheaper than Ethereum's simply because the chain is much less used — the trade-off is a proportionally smaller security budget. The fee field applies your percentage to both the entry and the exit, which is how exchanges actually charge you — a 0.1% maker fee each way is 0.2% of the round trip, and that is before spread.
ETC often rallies as a sympathy trade on Ethereum news rather than on anything of its own, and it has suffered 51% attacks in the past. That is worth keeping in mind when reading the ROI figure: an unrealised gain on ETC is only a gain once you have exited, and the exit price you can actually get depends on order-book depth at the moment you sell.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I calculate Ethereum Classic profit?
- Profit equals (sell price − buy price) × the number of ETC you hold, minus trading fees on both sides. ROI is that profit divided by what you originally spent. This calculator does both, and applies your fee percentage to the entry and the exit separately.
- Does this ETC calculator use the live price?
- Yes. When the page loads it fetches the current ETC market price and prefills the price fields, and the "↧ Live price" button refreshes them on demand. Everything is calculated in your browser — nothing you type is sent anywhere.
- Should I include ETC withdrawal fees?
- If you moved coins on-chain, yes — add them to your fee percentage or subtract them from the result. ETC gas is far cheaper than Ethereum's simply because the chain is much less used — the trade-off is a proportionally smaller security budget.
- How is crypto profit calculated?
- Profit = (sell price − buy price) × amount, minus trading fees on both the buy and sell sides.
- What is ROI?
- Return on investment is your net profit divided by your total cost, expressed as a percentage.
