About the Arbitrage Scanner
What is the Arbitrage Scanner?
Crypto arbitrage tries to profit from the same coin trading at different prices on two exchanges. Small price gaps often disappear once trading fees and transfer costs are paid.
This calculator shows the net profit, the minimum price gap needed to break even and, for Indian traders, the effect of 30% tax and 1% TDS.
How to use the Arbitrage Scanner
- Buy Price on Exchange A (₹) (sample: 98.5)
- Sell Price on Exchange B (₹) (sample: 101.2)
- Quantity (sample: 250)
- Exchange A Fee (%) (sample: 0.1)
- Exchange B Fee (%) (sample: 0.1)
- Withdrawal / Transfer Fee (₹) (sample: 0)
- Indian Crypto Tax Applies? (sample: Yes – 30% tax and 1% TDS)
- Press Check Arbitrage Profit (results also refresh as you type). The result card shows the Net Arbitrage Profit, along with Price gap, Gross profit, Total fees and Profit after Indian crypto tax.
Formula used
Net profit = (Sell price − Buy price) × Quantity − Fees − Transfer cost
- Break-even gap = total fees ÷ buy value
Prices move while coins are in transit, so real arbitrage carries execution risk.

Tips for using the Arbitrage Scanner
- Keep balances on both exchanges to avoid transfer delays.
- Tax at 30% applies to each profitable leg, which removes much of the edge for Indian traders.
