A Commodity Profit Calculator works by taking into account various input parameters such as the current market price, quantity, and transaction fees. The calculator calculates the estimated revenue generated by selling the commodity and subtracts the total cost of the transaction, including any associated fees, to arrive at the estimated profit or loss. The calculated value helps traders and investors in making informed decisions about buying or selling commodities. By providing quick and accurate profit/loss estimates, Commodity Profit Calculators can be an essential tool in managing the risks associated with commodity trading.
The markets.com commodity calculator makes the complex task of risk management much more digestible and so traders are advised to use it before they decide to put their capital at risk.
Calculating profit and loss in commodity trading requires knowing the price at which you bought and sold the commodity, as well as any associated costs such as commissions and fees. To calculate profit, subtract the total cost of purchasing the commodity from the total revenue received from selling it. To calculate loss, subtract the total revenue received from selling the commodity from the total cost of purchasing it.
However, you don't need to do these calculations manually as online brokers like markets.com offer a commodity calculator that does the job for you. You simply need to input the necessary information, and the calculator will provide you with the estimated profit or loss amount. This makes the process simple and convenient, allowing you to focus on making informed trading decisions.
P/L Calculation example
You bought 200 barrels of Crude Oil position at the price of 79.08. You closed the same position within the same day at the price of 80.97. Your settled P/L is 372 USD.
| Time | BID | ASK |
|---|---|---|
| 15:02:01 | 79.05 | 79.08 |
| 17:55:46 | 80.94 | 80.97 |
P/L is calculated with the following formula: ((exit price-entry price)*quantity) + fees & charges

The benefits of trading commodities with CFDs are that without owning the underlying asset you can benefit from better flexibility, liquidity and lower costs.
