Why your profit is smaller than the chart says
A coin going from a $50K to a $250K market cap is a 5x. On a 1 SOL buy that looks like 4 SOL of profit. With a 1% platform fee and 1% slippage on each side and a 0.002 SOL tip per trade, you walk away with about 3.80 SOL. The other 0.20 SOL goes to fees, slippage and tips.
Costs bite hardest on small trades and small moves. Flat tips don't shrink with your buy: on a 0.2 SOL trade with a 0.005 SOL tip each way, the coin has to rise about 9.3% before you make a single cent.
How to use it
- Market caps come from the chart. Use the market cap you bought at and the one you'd sell at.
- Platform fee presets only include fees we confirmed in each tool's own docs. Compare them on the trading terminals and Telegram bots pages.
- Slippage here means the price you actually lose to price impact on each side. The slippage limit in your bot is a separate setting.
- Priority fee + tip is the flat SOL you pay per transaction to land faster. It's charged on the buy and again on the sell.
Every cost in this calculator is explained in memecoin trading fees explained. Before you plug in a coin, run the five-minute rug check, because the best exit market cap in the world doesn't help if the dev sells first.
FAQ
How do I calculate memecoin profit?
Divide the exit market cap by the entry market cap to get the multiple, apply it to what you bought, then subtract the platform fee and slippage on both the buy and the sell, plus priority fees and tips. The calculator does all of it for you.
Why use market cap instead of price?
Memecoins have huge supplies and tiny prices, so traders compare market caps. If a coin goes from a $50K market cap to $250K, your tokens are worth 5x, whatever the price per token is.
What is the break-even market cap?
The exit market cap you need just to get your money back after fees, slippage and tips. With 1% fees and 1% slippage on each side, a coin has to rise about 4.5% before a 1 SOL trade makes anything.
Does the calculator include taxes?
No. It covers trading costs only. Tax rules differ by country, so check yours separately.
The calculator works from the numbers you enter and can't predict where a coin goes. It doesn't include taxes, failed transactions or account rent, and nothing here is financial advice.
