Could you elaborate on the process of calculating profit and loss on cryptocurrencies? For instance, let's assume I purchased a certain coin at a specific price and later sold it at a different price. How do I determine my overall gains or losses? Additionally, what factors should I consider when calculating these figures, such as transaction fees, taxes, and any other potential costs? Is there a standard formula or tool that is commonly used to calculate crypto profits and losses? Understanding this would help me better manage my investments and ensure I'm making informed decisions in the crypto market.

Profit is then calculated by subtracting the cost price from the selling price. This difference represents the gain or loss per unit of the cryptocurrency.

If the selling price exceeds the cost price, a profit is realized. Conversely, if the selling price is lower, a loss is incurred.
