Crypto Futures Profit Formula

This guide gives the direct formulas used to estimate long and short crypto futures outcomes before entering a position.

Long position

Gross PnL = margin * leverage * ((target price - entry price) / entry price)

Net PnL = gross PnL - entry fee - exit fee + referral payback

Short position

Gross PnL = margin * leverage * ((entry price - target price) / entry price)

ROI = (net PnL / margin) * 100
