Make hypothetical profit and loss (P&L) calculations easy with our free CFD profit calculator.
A CFD calculator is a tool that enables you to calculate CFD profit or loss on a hypothetical basis, based on historic pricing. The tool clarifies how much you would stand to earn or lose if the price plays out in either direction, according to the leverage of the asset and the chosen order size.
Our calculator shows potential earnings from trades opened and closed within the past 30 days.
Calculate your P&L for a hypothetical CFD trade by following the steps below.
Using the trading calculator below, enter your assets, leverage and trade size to get your hypothetical P&L over a set period.
NB: The calculator does not account for any overnight funding, spread costs or any other fees applied to positions. Traders should consider the effect of such costs on potential profits. It also does not calculate the equity-to-margin ratio, which traders should personally monitor at all times.

A CFD calculator works by processing variable inputs such as position size and leverage to calculate profit and loss for a hypothetical CFD trade. First, you enter a start and end date for a position on a selected asset. Then, you select the leverage and order size and choose a long or short position. The calculator shows the resulting profit if the market goes for you, or the loss if the market goes against you.
A CFD calculator can help you plan and refine your strategies. For example, you may want to see how much you stand to profit or lose before taking a position on a given asset. The CFD calculator can help you choose the order size and leverage you are comfortable trading before you open a position.
Yes, you can use a CFD calculator for both long and short positions.
Our CFD trading calculator is programmed to provide accurate mathematical information for hypothetical trades based on the input data. However, it only provides estimates, which should not be taken as definitive predictions of future performance. Also, the calculator does not account for charges such as spreads and overnight funding, meaning users should factor in such fees in their hypothetical calculation. It also does not calculate the equity-to-margin ratio, which traders should personally monitor at all times.
