Ethereum to US Dollars Profit & Loss Calculator
What this tool estimates
This page estimates historical profit or loss for Ethereum (ETH) positions priced in US Dollars (USD). It is especially useful for investors who participated in DeFi, NFT minting, or staking and want a quick dollar-denominated view of how their ETH holdings performed over specific periods.
Add one or more transactions with buy and sell dates to see estimated gain per row. Ethereum prices often move differently from Bitcoin, particularly around network upgrades, gas fee spikes, and DeFi protocol events, so checking ETH-specific timing matters.
Not included: gas costs (which can be substantial on Ethereum), staking rewards, DeFi yield, NFT proceeds, or jurisdiction-specific tax rules. Treat output as a directional estimate and reconcile with exchange and wallet records for official reporting.
| Amount | Crypto | Fiat | Buy Date | Sell Date | Profit/Loss (USD) |

How it works
For each row, the calculator requests historical rates for buy and sell dates via /.netlify/functions/crypto-convert, then computes (sellRate − buyRate) × amount in USD. Arithmetic runs client-side after the rate is returned.
Data source: historical daily reference rates from CoinGecko API. Intraday timing, exchange-specific spreads, and fees are not included.
Scope: this tool estimates gain/loss per position. It does not implement FIFO/LIFO/HIFO lot methods, tax event classification, staking treatment, or jurisdiction-specific reporting.
Practical use scenarios
- Test how a ETH position performs in USD terms across two different exit dates.
- Check downside sensitivity by moving sell date to a lower-price window.
- Use row-by-row output to isolate which transaction contributed most to total movement.
- Run a quick realized P/L estimate before reconciling full exchange exports.
- Compare multiple transaction rows to see timing impact under one fiat baseline.
Planning notes
- If fees were charged in asset units, reconcile exchange statements after using this estimate.
- This pair is useful for checking historical ETH performance in USD terms.
- Before tax season, compare multiple sell dates to test sensitivity for this pair.

FAQ
No. Gas fees are transaction-specific and vary widely. This tool uses daily reference rates only. For accurate net profit, subtract your actual gas costs from the estimate.
You can enter staking reward amounts as separate rows with their own buy dates, but the tool does not automatically track staking schedules or reward rates.
Ethereum has its own ecosystem dynamics including DeFi activity, network upgrades, and gas demand. These factors create price movements that do not always correlate with Bitcoin.
Yes. If you received ETH from an NFT sale and later converted to USD, you can estimate the fiat gain by entering the receipt date as buy and the conversion date as sell.
