Profit and loss statement generator for traders
Your broker statement lists trades, but it cannot tell you what trading really earned after data feeds, software, prop firm fees and every other cost. Enter realised gains and losses, other trading income and each expense for the period, and the generator arranges them into a proper profit and loss statement with gross profit, net profit and an estimated tax bill. Save it as a CSV for your accountant or print it for your records.

Every expense line for the period, biggest first.
How the statement is put together
It follows the standard order of a profit and loss account: income, then expenses, then profit, then tax.
Gross trading profit
Realised gains less realised losses.
gross = gains − losses
Total income
Gross trading profit with dividends, interest, payouts and rebates added.
income = gross + dividends + payouts
Total expenses
Every trading cost in the period.
expenses = Σ expense lines
Net profit
Income less expenses.
net = income − expenses
Estimated tax
Your effective rate, applied only when net profit is positive.
tax = max(0, net) × tax rate
Trader P&L FAQ
Why would a trader need a profit and loss statement?
A broker statement covers trades, not the whole operation. A P&L adds the costs your broker never sees, such as data feeds, software, prop firm fees and courses, and shows what trading actually earned. It is also what an accountant, lender or partner will normally ask for.
Gross vs net trading profit: what is the difference?
Gross trading profit is realised gains minus realised losses. Net profit also removes every cost of trading: commissions, platform and data fees, margin interest and the rest. Plenty of traders who win on their trades break even or lose once costs are included.
Should unrealised gains go on the statement?
This statement uses realised results from closed positions, because that is how most tax systems and accounts treat trading income. Many traders note open positions separately but do not count them as profit until they are closed.
Which trading costs are tax-deductible?
That depends on where you live and how your trading is classified. Some countries only allow investment expenses tied directly to income, while traders who qualify as a business can deduct more. The statement lists everything so your accountant can decide.
How is the tax figure estimated?
Your effective rate is applied to net profit when it is positive. Treat it as a rough guide, since capital gains rates, carried-forward losses, wash sale rules and other details can change the real amount a lot.
