Litecoin portfolio
Track purchases, sales and transfers across your accounts. Reconcile balances and measure returns after recorded costs.
Cost Basis
Recorded acquisition cost allocated to coins still held or disposed of under a chosen method. Entered fees and historical currency conversions can affect it. A tracking tool's basis is not automatically the basis required for your tax filing; missing records or a different method can change the result.
For example If a sold quantity has $30 of allocated basis and produces $40 after selected selling fees, its recorded realized gain is $10.
Common mistake Confusing current market value with acquisition cost, or assuming every calculator uses the same fee treatment and lot-allocation method.

Weighted Average Cost
A cost per unit found by dividing the relevant total acquisition cost by the corresponding quantity. Larger purchases carry more weight. A gross purchase average and a fee-inclusive cost per retained LTC use different cost and quantity definitions, so they need not match.
For example Buying 1 LTC at $40 and 3 LTC at $60 gives a $55 weighted purchase average before fees: $220 divided by 4 LTC.
Common mistake Averaging the two quoted prices without quantities, or mixing gross purchased LTC with the smaller amount retained after withdrawal deductions.

Realized Gain or Loss
The difference between disposal proceeds, after the selling costs included in the calculation, and the acquisition cost allocated to the disposed quantity. It is an arithmetic record of a completed disposal. Its tax treatment depends on rules beyond a general portfolio calculator.
For example Sell a quantity for $40 after selected fees and allocate $30 of basis to it: the recorded realized gain is $10.
Common mistake Calling the entire $40 proceeds profit or assuming that the tracking method establishes taxable gain in every country.

Unrealized Gain or Loss
The difference between the current marked value of holdings and their remaining allocated acquisition cost. It changes with the reference price and has not been locked in by a disposal. A mark is not necessarily the proceeds available after spreads, fees and actual execution.
For example Holdings marked at $120 with $100 of remaining basis show a $20 unrealized gain before any unmodeled exit costs.
Common mistake Treating a displayed gain as cash already received or assuming the whole position can be sold at the reference price.

XIRR
An annualized, money-weighted internal rate of return calculated from dated cash flows. It reflects both when money moves and how much moves. Some cash-flow patterns have no usable answer or more than one mathematical solution; the tool's stated acceptance rules matter.
For example A $100 outflow followed by a $110 inflow exactly 365 days later has a 10% XIRR when there are no other flows.
Common mistake Comparing an annualized short-period result directly with cumulative TWR or interpreting an unavailable or ambiguous solution as a zero return.

TWR (Time-Weighted Return)
A return calculated by separating periods at external cash flows and compounding their returns. It aims to remove the effect of adding or withdrawing capital. Accurate calculation needs suitable valuations around those flows; the portfolio tool reports a cumulative period result, not an annualized rate.
For example A 10% gain followed by a 10% loss compounds to a 1% loss: 1.10 times 0.90 minus one.
Common mistake Adding percentage returns, treating new deposits as investment profit or assuming TWR and XIRR must agree.

Start with records you can verify
- Name an account for each wallet or exchange in Manage accounts.
- Add purchases and sales, or map an exchange CSV below. Record wallet-to-wallet movements as transfers so they do not become purchases.
- Compare each recorded balance with a statement for the same UTC date, then download a complete JSON backup.
Illustration only: two purchases and one sale, all in USD. Fixed ending price: $75/LTC. These records are calculated in memory and are never added to your portfolio.
| Date | Entry | LTC | Price USD | Fee USD | Remaining LTC |
|---|
What these totals mean
Add recorded transactions to see how acquisition cost, current value and returns differ.
Record the actual transaction currency and price. Cost basis and cash flows use each transaction’s saved historical FX; current holdings use the latest market quote. Fees are included in cost basis and sale proceeds.
Accounts and balance checks
All accounts belong to the same LTC portfolio. Balances are separate; weighted average cost is pooled across them. Only LTC is tracked, including LTC held at an exchange.
| Account | Recorded LTC | Current value | Latest balance check | Actions |

Compare with a wallet or exchange statement
Compare settled totals for the same UTC date. Pending deposits, reserved funds and missing transactions can cause a difference. A check never adjusts your holdings automatically; correcting a transaction recalculates the comparison.
What contributed to your return?
How the attribution is calculated
The LTC component is the gross USD result before trading fees, with spent network-fee coins added back at today’s price, translated at the current FX rate. Trading fees use their recorded historical FX. Network fees are then subtracted at their current market value; the FX component is the remaining currency difference. These four components reconcile to total P&L. In the cost ledger, network fees instead remove their pooled acquisition cost and record that amount as an expense. Neither calculation determines tax treatment.
Returns adjusted for your cash flows
Measure the LTC position from its first purchase to a selected date. Currency profit, annual XIRR and cumulative TWR answer different questions.
Use a documented valuation for a past end date. A current quote is only used when you choose it.
What these returns mean
Choose an ending valuation to distinguish currency profit, annualized XIRR and cumulative TWR.
Valuations, fees and calculation limits
The boundary contains LTC only. A buy contributes its full cost including fees; a sale withdraws its net proceeds, even if that cash stays on an exchange. Internal transfers create no external cash flow. The ending market value is a calculation entry, not an extra transaction.
XIRR uses actual elapsed days divided by 365 and checks its net present-value residual. Same-date flows are netted. To avoid selecting an ambiguous result, this implementation withholds XIRR when the ordered, netted cash flows change sign more than once. The CSV can be used for a separate analysis of possible roots. Zero inflows, zero outflows or flows confined to one date cannot establish an annual rate.
TWR needs the portfolio reference price immediately before each buy or partial sale while LTC is already held. Enter it when editing that transaction, in its original currency. The existing trade price is not silently used for the remaining holdings. Opening a position from zero and closing it fully do not need a separate price because that intermediate valuation cancels from the calculation.
For each cash-flow event, value existing LTC before the event. A buy adds its gross cash contribution before trading costs; a sale deducts trading costs before withdrawing net proceeds. Chain the before/after returns across events and the final valuation. Network-fee losses remain in the changing LTC balance. Same-day events follow entry order; valuations must match those events, not an unrelated daily close. Neither XIRR nor TWR is a forecast or a tax result.

Import an exchange trade CSV
Map your file’s columns instead of renaming them. Only buys and sells are supported here; enter transfers and their LTC fees separately. Files stay in this browser. This mapping uses cash trading fees, not LTC-denominated trading fees.
Back up your records
JSON contains accounts and balance checks; CSV contains transactions, account names, FX and pre-trade valuations. Keep JSON as your complete backup.
Import saved records
Import adds records after a preview. Existing transactions are kept. Repeated backups are deduplicated while identical separate purchases are preserved. For an exchange trade CSV with different columns, use the column mapper above.

Optional encrypted JSON backup
Encrypt a complete JSON backup in this browser using AES-256-GCM and PBKDF2-SHA256 (600,000 iterations, random salt and nonce). The password is not saved or sent anywhere. Keep it separately: a forgotten password cannot be recovered here. This protects the downloaded file; your local browser portfolio remains unencrypted.
Transaction history
Prices, fees and cash flows are shown in each transaction’s original currency. The realized P&L column uses USD for consistency. Transactions on the same date follow their order of entry. Partial sales release weighted average cost.

Accounting and privacy
Purchases add quantity and cost including fees, converted using saved transaction-date FX. A sale releases the weighted average cost basis, and deducts its fee from proceeds. Unrealized P&L is the current value minus remaining basis. Total P&L is realized plus unrealized P&L minus the acquisition cost of recorded network-fee coins. Zero-cost acquisitions have no meaningful percentage return.
This is a tracking convention, not a tax report. Internal transfers move coins between your accounts without contributing or withdrawing capital. Their LTC fees remove pooled acquisition cost and book that amount as an expense, so total P&L equals current holdings value plus net sale proceeds minus purchase costs. Trading cost basis is pooled globally across accounts. External gifts, borrowing and staking are not modeled. Network-fee tax treatment needs separate review; the FIFO tool blocks automatic import when such fees are present.
Your transactions stay in this browser. Export a JSON backup regularly: clearing site data or switching browsers can remove access. Legacy holdings are read as USD purchases without fees. Version 2 purchases and sales retain their original USD values. Missing historical FX is never silently replaced with a current rate. Existing records move into a Main account. The first save preserves the pre-upgrade record separately, and imports accept older JSON and CSV backups. Accounts, transfers and balance checks are included in the current JSON backup. If browser storage is unavailable, changes are blocked rather than falsely reported as saved.

Cost basis, marked value and unrealized gain
These describe different parts of the same holdings.
Remaining cost basis
Recorded acquisition cost still allocated to the LTC you hold, using saved historical FX and this portfolio's pooled weighted-average method.
Example: The remaining 0.5 LTC can carry 30 USD of acquisition cost.
Read the definitionCurrent marked value
Remaining LTC multiplied by a qualifying current reference quote. It is a valuation before unmodeled selling costs, not an executable sale offer.
Example: At a hypothetical 80 USD per LTC, 0.5 LTC is marked at 40 USD.
Read the definitionUnrealized gain or loss
Marked value minus remaining cost basis. It is still exposed to price changes; no sale has locked in those proceeds.
Example: A 40 USD mark less 30 USD of basis gives 10 USD of unrealized gain.
Read the definitionA higher displayed value does not mean acquisition cost changed. Missing historical FX can withhold cost results even when a current market value is available.
Realized versus unrealized gain
Realized gain or loss
Net proceeds from recorded sales less the weighted-average cost allocated to the sold LTC.
Example: 40 USD of proceeds after fees minus 30 USD of allocated cost gives 10 USD realized gain.
Read the definitionUnrealized gain or loss
Current reference value of LTC still held minus its remaining recorded cost.
Example: Holdings marked at 40 USD with 30 USD of basis have 10 USD of unrealized gain before unmodeled exit costs.
Read the definitionNeither figure is the cash balance of an account. Total P&L also subtracts the recorded network-fee cost. These are tracking results, not a jurisdiction-specific tax filing.
XIRR versus TWR
Both measure the LTC position, but they answer different questions.
XIRR: annualized and money-weighted
Reflects the amounts and dates of contributions and withdrawals. This implementation uses actual days divided by 365 and withholds an ambiguous or unsupported solution.
Example: A large contribution just before a rise carries more weight in XIRR.
Read the definitionTWR: cumulative and time-weighted
Chains returns around external cash flows to remove the effect of adding or withdrawing capital. Suitable pre-trade valuations are needed where holdings remain.
Example: A 10% gain followed by a 10% loss compounds to a 1% loss, not zero.
Read the definitionAnnualized XIRR is not directly the same measure as cumulative TWR. Missing valuations make TWR incomplete; an unavailable return is not a zero return.
Pooled weighted average versus FIFO
The Portfolio and FIFO worksheet can allocate different purchase costs to the same sale.
Portfolio: pooled weighted average
Purchases contribute quantity and acquisition cost to one pool across your accounts. A partial sale releases the current average cost for the quantity sold.
Example: Buy 1 LTC at 40 USD and 1 at 60 USD. Before fees, a sale of 0.5 LTC releases 25 USD of pooled cost.
Read the definitionFIFO worksheet: oldest purchases first
Assigns the oldest recorded purchase costs to a disposal, rather than releasing the pool average.
Example: For those same purchases, FIFO allocates 20 USD to a 0.5 LTC sale before fees.
Read the definitionA different allocation changes reported realized and remaining cost, not the actual coins or cash that moved. Neither method is automatically the required tax method for your jurisdiction.
Summary currency
Choose the currency used for monetary summaries. This does not rewrite a transaction's original currency, price or fee. Non-USD summaries need the saved historical FX for the recorded trades.
- Unit
- USD, EUR, GBP or PLN
- Where to find it
- Your reporting preference; the original trade records keep their own currencies.
- Example
- A USD purchase still appears in USD in history when you choose an EUR summary.

Performance end date
Choose the UTC date through which to measure the LTC position. Use an ending valuation for that date. Transactions on the same date keep their recorded order.
- Unit
- UTC calendar date, no later than today
- Where to find it
- The end of the reporting period you want to inspect.
- Example
- For a period ending 1 March 2025, pair that date with a documented valuation for 1 March.

Transaction type
Use Buy or Sell for a purchase or disposal of LTC. Use Transfer only for movement between your own saved accounts. A transfer does not become a new purchase or an external cash flow; its extra LTC fee still reduces holdings.
- Unit
- One transaction type
- Where to find it
- The activity shown on your wallet or exchange statement.
- Example
- Moving LTC from your exchange account to your own hardware wallet is a transfer between those accounts.
Pooled weighted average versus FIFO
The Portfolio and FIFO worksheet can allocate different purchase costs to the same sale.
Portfolio: pooled weighted average
Purchases contribute quantity and acquisition cost to one pool across your accounts. A partial sale releases the current average cost for the quantity sold.

Account for this entry
Choose the saved account where the buy or sale occurred. For a transfer, this is the source account. Accounts have separate LTC balances, while acquisition cost is pooled across this portfolio.
- Unit
- One saved portfolio account
- Where to find it
- The wallet or exchange statement for the activity.
- Example
- An exchange purchase belongs to the exchange account; record a later wallet withdrawal separately.
Pooled weighted average versus FIFO
The Portfolio and FIFO worksheet can allocate different purchase costs to the same sale.
Portfolio: pooled weighted average
Purchases contribute quantity and acquisition cost to one pool across your accounts. A partial sale releases the current average cost for the quantity sold.

Transfer destination account
Choose a different account that you also own. The LTC amount is what arrives there. The source is debited by that amount plus the extra LTC fee.
- Unit
- A saved account different from the source
- Where to find it
- The receiving wallet or exchange statement.
- Example
- If your wallet receives 1 LTC and the source charges 0.001 LTC, the source loses 1.001 LTC.
Was this explanation helpful?
Transaction date
Enter the activity's UTC date. It controls historical FX and transaction order. Records on the same day follow their order of entry, so keep that order consistent with your statements.
- Unit
- UTC calendar date, no later than today
- Where to find it
- The execution or transfer timestamp in the original record, interpreted in UTC.
- Example
- A trade just after midnight in your local timezone can belong to the previous UTC date.
Was this explanation helpful?
LTC quantity
For a buy or sale, enter the executed LTC quantity. For a transfer, enter the LTC credited to the destination, excluding the extra LTC fee. Do not enter its cash value.
- Unit
- LTC, up to 8 decimal places
- Where to find it
- The executed quantity or destination receipt in your transaction record.
- Example
- Buy 0.5 LTC: enter 0.5. Transfer 1 LTC received with a 0.001 LTC fee: enter 1 here and 0.001 in the fee field.

Transaction currency
Choose the currency of both the execution price and the total cash trading fee. Keep the actual trade currency instead of converting the figures using today's rate.
- Unit
- USD, EUR, GBP or PLN
- Where to find it
- The currency on your trade confirmation.
- Example
- For a purchase quoted at 60 EUR per LTC with a 1 EUR trading fee, choose EUR for both amounts.

Execution price per LTC
Enter the actual price of one LTC in the transaction currency, before the separate cash fee. Do not enter the whole order value or replace an old execution with today's reference quote.
- Unit
- Transaction-currency units per 1 LTC
- Where to find it
- Your executed trade confirmation or statement.
- Example
- For 0.5 LTC bought at 60 EUR per LTC, enter 60 here; the quantity is 0.5 and any cash fee is separate.
Pooled weighted average versus FIFO
The Portfolio and FIFO worksheet can allocate different purchase costs to the same sale.
Portfolio: pooled weighted average
Purchases contribute quantity and acquisition cost to one pool across your accounts. A partial sale releases the current average cost for the quantity sold.

Total cash trading fee
Enter the cash fee for the entire buy or sale in its transaction currency. A buy fee adds to acquisition cost; a selling fee reduces proceeds. This is an amount, not a percentage or a fee per LTC.
- Unit
- Transaction-currency units for the whole trade
- Where to find it
- The cash trading fee on your executed trade record.
- Example
- A 0.5 LTC purchase at 60 EUR per LTC with a 1 EUR fee uses price 60 and total fee 1, for 31 EUR of acquisition cash.
Realized versus unrealized gain
Realized gain or loss
Net proceeds from recorded sales less the weighted-average cost allocated to the sold LTC.
Example: 40 USD of proceeds after fees minus 30 USD of allocated cost gives 10 USD realized gain.
Read the definitionUnrealized gain or loss
Current reference value of LTC still held minus its remaining recorded cost.
Example: Holdings marked at 40 USD with 30 USD of basis have 10 USD of unrealized gain before unmodeled exit costs.
Read the definitionNeither figure is the cash balance of an account. Total P&L also subtracts the recorded network-fee cost. These are tracking results, not a jurisdiction-specific tax filing.
Was this explanation helpful?
Extra LTC transfer fee
Enter the extra LTC charged to the source in addition to what the destination receives. It reduces portfolio holdings and removes pooled acquisition cost as an expense. Do not also include it in the credited LTC amount.
- Unit
- LTC, up to 8 decimal places
- Where to find it
- The source account's network or withdrawal charge.
- Example
- 1 LTC credited plus a 0.001 LTC extra fee means a 1.001 LTC source debit. Enter 0.001 here.

Pre-trade valuation for TWR
Enter a reference price immediately before this cash flow, in the transaction currency. It is needed for TWR at an intermediate buy or partial sale while LTC remains held. It does not change cost basis; the execution price is not silently substituted.
- Unit
- Transaction-currency units per 1 LTC
- Where to find it
- A documented portfolio valuation immediately before the event.
- Example
- A trade executed at 60 EUR can have a separately documented pre-trade reference of 59.80 EUR per LTC.
XIRR versus TWR
Both measure the LTC position, but they answer different questions.

Historical FX source date
Record the date of the FX observation you entered. Weekend and holiday lookups can use an earlier available reference. Editing an old trade does not make today's FX an appropriate replacement.
- Unit
- Source calendar date
- Where to find it
- The date printed with the conversion record or daily reference.
- Example
- A Sunday trade can use the preceding Friday's ECB reference; keep Friday as the FX source date.
