How it is calculated

Return on margin is the price move times the leverage, less the fees, which are also charged on the whole position.

  • Price move = exit price ÷ entry price − 1
  • Return on margin = leverage × (price move − fee − exit price ÷ entry price × fee), with the price move reversed for a short
  • Fee cost on margin = leverage × fee × (1 + exit price ÷ entry price)
  • Exit price for a target, long = entry price × (target ÷ leverage + 1 + fee) ÷ (1 − fee)
  • Exit price for a target, short = entry price × (1 − fee − target ÷ leverage) ÷ (1 + fee)
  • Break-even exit price = the exit price for a 0% return
  • Liquidation price, long = entry price × (1 − 1 ÷ leverage + maintenance margin), the other way round for a short

Frequently asked questions

Short answers on return on margin, leverage and the price you need.

It is the profit or loss as a share of the margin you put up, often called ROE or return on equity on exchanges. Because the position is bigger than the margin, the return is the price move times the leverage, less fees. A 4% rise at 10× is a 40% return before fees, whatever the margin, which is why this calculator needs no amount to work.

Fees are charged on the whole position, so leverage multiplies them too. At 10× with 0.05% on each side, a long from ₹25,00,000 to ₹26,00,000 pays about 1.02% of the margin in fees, so the 40% return becomes 38.98%. On ₹10,000 of margin that is a profit of ₹3,898. The price has to reach ₹25,02,501.25, about 0.1% above entry, just to break even.

Divide the target by the leverage to get the move you need, then add the fees. For a 50% return at 10× you need about a 5% move plus fees: a long from ₹25,00,000 has to reach ₹26,27,563.78. At 20× the same 50% needs only half the move, but the liquidation price is twice as close.

It makes the same move worth more in both directions. A 10% return target at 50× needs only a 0.2% move, but so does a 10% loss, and a 1.5% move against you liquidates the position at a 0.5% maintenance margin. A trade with a better chance of reaching its target at lower leverage is usually the safer choice. To see losses, use the Leverage Loss Calculator.

Funding on perpetual futures, which is paid or received every few hours, and any difference between the price you aim for and the price you get. The liquidation price is an estimate for isolated margin. For a full trade with funding, use the Crypto Futures P&L Calculator; to compare leverage levels in rupees, the Leverage Profit Calculator.

Profit from crypto is taxed at a flat 30%, or 31.2% with cess, and a loss cannot be set off against other income or other crypto gains. How profit from crypto futures is treated can depend on the exchange and how the contract is settled, so check with a tax professional. This calculator shows returns before tax; for the tax on a sale, use the India Crypto Tax Calculator.
