Arbitrage calculator formulas
A visible cryptocurrency price difference is not the same as net arbitrage profit. Costs and execution conditions must also be included.
Formula 01
Spread percentage = ((Sell price − Buy price) ÷ Buy price) × 100
Formula 02
Asset quantity = Capital after buy fee ÷ Effective buy price
Formula 03
Net profit = Net sale proceeds − Original investment
Formula 04
Net ROI = (Net profit ÷ Original investment) × 100
Crypto arbitrage costs
Buy-side and sell-side exchange charges reduce the final arbitrage result.
The executed price may be worse than the displayed buy or sell price.
Some exchanges charge a fixed fee when digital assets are withdrawn.
Blockchain transactions may require gas or other network processing fees.
Important risk warning
Cryptocurrency prices may change between detecting an opportunity and completing the required trades. Orders may fill partially, withdrawals may be delayed and exchange or blockchain fees may change.
Always review liquidity, order-book depth, wallet addresses, supported networks, exchange status and applicable legal or tax requirements.

A crypto arbitrage calculator estimates the possible result of buying a digital asset at one price and selling it at another price after accounting for trading fees, fixed costs and estimated slippage.
Estimated net profit is calculated by subtracting the original investment, trading fees, withdrawal costs, blockchain fees and estimated slippage from the final sale proceeds.
The arbitrage spread is the percentage difference between the selected buy price and sell price before fees, slippage and other execution costs are deducted.
The break-even selling price is the approximate price needed to recover the original investment and estimated costs without making a profit or loss.
No. The calculator provides an educational estimate only. Actual results may change because of market movement, order-book liquidity, slippage, exchange fees, failed orders and withdrawal delays.
Slippage means the actual execution price may be worse than the displayed price. It can increase the effective buy price and reduce the effective sell price.
