What do you keep
after fees?
Work out what remains after fees. Follow the example, try the calculator and check your understanding with a short exercise.
What remains of 10 USDC?
Suppose a position earns 10 USDC over a given period. Entering it costs 1 USDC and exiting costs another 2 USDC. Subtract both fees to find what remains.
Accrued income is one part of the calculation. After these two fees, 7 USDC remains. If the costs exceed the income, the result is negative.
This exercise expresses every amount in USDC and uses the same period for income and costs. It leaves out changes in the value of the invested capital, taxes and other expenses. The remaining 7 USDC is therefore only the result of this simplified calculation.
Try different numbers.
Change the example income or fees. What happens if exiting the position becomes more expensive?
Enter zero or a positive amount, with up to two decimal places.
income − entry − exit
After these fees, 7 USDC remains. This result applies only to the assumptions shown.
Your turn.
Another position earns 8.50 USDC. Entry costs 1.20 USDC and exit costs 2.80 USDC. What remains after both fees?
Check the assumptions.
Then assess the result.
Before assessing a return, check the period, the costs included and anything left out. These questions help you understand what the calculation actually tells you.
