How to calculate Telegram gift profit, ROI and break-even
Profit is what remains after the seller fee, the purchase price and other costs. Example: buy at 50 TON, sell at 65 TON with a 2% fee: 65 − 1.3 − 50 = 13.7 TON.
Telegram gift profit formula
The calculator first deducts the selected seller fee from the expected sale price. It then subtracts what you paid for the gift and any additional costs you entered.
Profit or loss = sale price − seller fee − purchase price − other costs.
What ROI tells you
Return on cost expresses the estimated profit as a percentage of the total amount invested. It is useful when comparing trades of different sizes, while the TON result shows the actual amount at risk or earned.
ROI = profit ÷ (purchase price + other costs) × 100.
In the example above: 13.7 ÷ 50 × 100 = 27.4%.
Use the break-even price before listing
The break-even result estimates the minimum gross sale price needed to recover the complete cost basis after the selected seller fee. Selling at the purchase price is usually not break-even when a fee is deducted.
Example: a gift bought for 50 TON breaks even at 51.02 TON with a 2% fee (50 ÷ 0.98). Add known transfer or service costs to get your own threshold.
Run more than one price scenario
- Start with a conservative price supported by nearby listings.
- Test the current collection or model floor as a reference.
- Try a target price and compare the extra ROI with the likely wait.
- Recalculate if the market floor, fee or TON-denominated costs change.
A floor price is an asking price
The floor is the cheapest listing in a collection. Your gift sells at the price a buyer pays, and that depends on model, backdrop, symbol, number and demand. Look at similar listings before you set your price.
