Grid Profit Calculator
Direct answer
The Grid Profit Calculator converts a single price oscillation into explicit figures: enter the range, grid count, capital, fees and assumed round trips per month to obtain gross and net profit per round, monthly profit and an annualized estimate.
The Grid Profit Calculator turns “how much does one oscillation earn” into numbers: enter the range, grids, capital, fees and assumed round trips per month to get gross/net profit per round, monthly net profit and an annualized estimate in one view.
The round-trip count is the key assumption here — how often price completes a buy-low-sell-high cycle in one grid on average. Try 1 and then 10 round trips per month to see how sensitive the result is.

Key data & facts
- Net profit per round
- RoundNet = Σ(sell proceeds − buy cost − round-trip fees) per grid
- Capital per grid / step
- capital ÷ grids; (upper − lower) ÷ grids
- Monthly / annualized
- Monthly = RoundNet × rounds per month; Annualized = Monthly × 12
- Cost scope
- Fees deducted on both buy and sellExcludes funding fees, slippage and floating PnL
- Example inputs
- 2500–3500 range, 50 grids, 1000 USDT20 USDT per grid, 20 USDT step, 0.05% fee
What is the Grid Profit Calculator?
Grid profit comes from two factors: what one round earns, and how many rounds happen over time. The first depends on spacing and fees, the second on oscillation frequency.
This calculator lets you set both separately and see how each drives total return.
How to use it
- Enter lower, upper, grid count, capital and the one-side fee rate.
- Estimate round trips per month — if price tends to oscillate twice a month inside the range, enter 2.
- Click Calculate to see net profit per round, monthly net and the annualized estimate.
- Re-run with a more conservative and a more aggressive round-trip count to see the range of outcomes.
Formulas
RoundNet = Σ( sell proceeds − buy cost − round-trip fees ) per grid
Capital per grid = capital ÷ grids; step = (upper − lower) ÷ grids.
Monthly = RoundNet × RoundsPerMonth Annualized = Monthly × 12
Worked example
Range 2500–3500, 50 grids, 1000 USDT, 0.05% fee: 20 USDT per grid and a 20 USDT step. The theoretical net for one complete round is a small slice of capital — typically single-digit USDT here.
Multiply that per-round net by your assumed rounds per month (say 2) for monthly net, then by 12 for the annualized figure. Changing the frequency assumption can change the result several-fold.
Practical tips
- Round-trip count is an assumption, not a fact. Run conservative, neutral and optimistic counts instead of trusting one number.
- Compare with the cost of risk. Once annualized, weigh it against the capital tied up and the drawdown exposure the grid carries.
FAQ
How do I estimate rounds per month?
Count from historical action how often price completes a down-and-back cycle inside the range. Without a strong view, use 0–2 and decide on the conservative end.
Why does the tool call it an estimate?
Oscillation frequency cannot be guaranteed in advance, so the annualized figure is just a linear projection of an assumption — useful for comparing parameters, not as expected return.
Do fees matter for monthly profit?
Greatly. Every round pays fees and more rounds accumulate them faster. First make sure per-grid net profit is positive, then look at monthly totals.
How does a grid compare with simply holding spot?
Grids accumulate range profit in choppy markets, but in one-way trends they lag holding or an early exit. Judgment about the market still matters.
