HOW TO USE

  1. 1

    Enter your total investment in USD — the total amount you spent to buy XLM.

  2. 2

    Enter your buy price — XLM trades at sub-dollar prices, so enter the full decimal e.g. 0.01 for one cent. XLM typically trades between $0.08 and $0.80.

  3. 3

    Enter your sell price — the current or target price per XLM. Use the live market price for unrealised P&L.

  4. 4

    Enter your exchange fees — most major exchanges charge 0.1%–0.5% per trade for XLM.

  5. 5

    Select your holding period — under 1 year for short-term ordinary income rates, over 1 year for long-term capital gains rates.

  6. 6

    Select your tax rate to see your estimated after-tax profit. All results update instantly as you type.

WORKED EXAMPLE

Example: You invested $1,000 in XLM at $0.01 per XLM and sold at $0.80. XLM purchased = $1,000 ÷ $0.01 = 100,000 XLM. Gross proceeds = 100,000 × $0.80 = $80,000. Buy fee (0.1%) = $1.00. Sell fee (0.1%) = $80.00. Cost basis = $1,001. Net proceeds = $79,920. Net profit = $78,919. ROI = 7,883.02%. Break-even price = $0.010020. At 22% short-term tax rate: tax = $17,362.18, after-tax profit = $61,556.82.
