Target / Take-Profit Calculator (Simple)

How to Use the Target / Take-Profit Calculator

This calculator finds the exit price you need to reach a desired profit (PnL) or return on equity (ROE) on a crypto futures position.

Input Fields

Pair (COIN/USDT)
The trading pair, e.g. BTCUSDT. Start typing to search across 500+ coins on the selected exchange.
Exchange
Choose one of the supported exchanges: Binance, Bybit, OKX, KuCoin, Bitget, Gate.io, MEXC, HTX. The Last button fetches the current market price automatically.
Side: Long / Short
Long — target price is above entry.
Short — target price is below entry.
Entry Price
The price at which you open (or plan to open) the position.
Quantity (Coin / USDT)
Position size. Toggle between coin amount (e.g. 0.1 BTC) and USDT amount (e.g. $6,500).
Leverage
The multiplier on your margin. Higher leverage means a smaller margin is locked and the same dollar PnL produces a higher ROE.
Desired PnL ($) / Desired ROE (%)
These two fields are linked — editing one automatically updates the other.
PnL = the dollar profit you want to achieve.
ROE = the percentage return on your margin.
Formula: ROE = PnL / Margin × 100%.

Output Fields

Target Price
The exit price needed to achieve your desired PnL or ROE.
Formula (Long): (PnL/Qty + Entry×(1+feeOpen)) / (1 − feeClose).
Formula (Short): (Entry×(1−feeOpen) − PnL/Qty) / (1 + feeClose).
Without fees, it simplifies to: Entry ± PnL/Qty.
PnL ($)
The profit at the target price.
ROE (%)
The return on equity (margin) at the target price.
Example: 10× leverage and 1% price move → ROE = 10%.
Distance to Target
How far the target price is from the entry, as a percentage.
Formula: |Target − Entry| / Entry.

Advanced Mode

Switch to Advanced to unlock fee-aware calculations:

Include Fees
Toggle to factor in exchange trading fees. When enabled, the target price adjusts upward (for longs) or downward (for shorts) to cover the fee cost. Fetch fees pulls the current rate automatically.
Margin Used
The collateral locked by the exchange.
Formula: Entry × Qty / Leverage.
Fees Total
Combined open + close trading fees in dollars.
Net PnL
Profit after subtracting fees.
Formula: Gross PnL − Fees.
Effective ROE
ROE after fees.
Formula: Net PnL / Margin × 100%.
Quick Example

You are Long BTC at $65,000 with 0.1 BTC and 10× leverage (margin = $650). You want $100 profit (ROE = 15.38%).

Target price = $66,000 • Distance = 1.54%
With 0.05% taker fees → Target shifts to ~$66,065 to cover the ~$6.55 in fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I calculate my take-profit price for crypto futures?
    Enter your entry price, position size, leverage, and the desired PnL or ROE. The calculator reverses the PnL formula to find the exit price. For a long: Target = Entry + (PnL / Quantity). For a short: Target = Entry − (PnL / Quantity). With fees enabled, the target shifts further to cover trading costs.
  • How do trading fees affect my target price?
    Trading fees are charged on both opening and closing the position. With a typical 0.05% taker fee, a $10,000 position costs about $5 to open and $5 to close ($10 total). The target price shifts slightly to cover these costs — for example, a target of $66,000 without fees might become $66,065 with fees. The impact grows with position size and fee rate.
  • What is a good ROE target for futures trades?
    There is no universal answer — it depends on your leverage, strategy, and risk tolerance. A 10% ROE with 10× leverage requires only a 1% price move, which is realistic for most crypto pairs. A 100% ROE (doubling your margin) requires a 10% move at 10×. Professional traders often target 1:2 or 1:3 risk-reward ratios rather than fixed ROE numbers.
  • What is the relationship between ROE and leverage?
    ROE = PnL / Margin × 100%, and margin = Position Size / Leverage. So for the same position size, doubling the leverage halves the margin and doubles the ROE. A 1% price move yields: 5% ROE at 5×, 10% ROE at 10×, 50% ROE at 50×. Higher leverage amplifies both gains and losses equally.
  • Can I set a target price below my entry for a long position?
    Yes — entering a negative PnL or ROE calculates the price at which you would lose that amount. This is useful for setting stop-loss levels. For example, entering −$100 PnL on a long will show the price below entry where you would lose exactly $100. This helps plan exit strategies for both profit and loss scenarios.
