How to calculate the overall Futures PNL?

PNL	Ending Wallet Balance (Current Time) - Beginning Wallet Balance (00:00 on the Start Date) - Net Inflow
PNL %	PNL during the Selected Time Frame / (Beginning Wallet Balance + Inflow)
Cumulative PNL%	Cumulative PNL / [Day 1 Asset + Average (Cumulative Net Transfer from Day 1 to N)]

Note: Wallet balance does not include unrealized profits/loss until the position is closed. It is different from margin balance, which takes into account the unrealized profits and losses.

Example:

At T + 0 hour, User A has 11,000 USDT and bought 0.2 BTC worth of BTC/USDT perpetual contracts at an entry price of $50,000.

At T + 8 hours, the BTC price has increased to $52,000 and User A has to pay a funding payment of 50 USDT.

• Beginning Wallet Balance (T + 0h) = 11,000 USDT
• Ending Wallet Balance (T + 8h) = 11,000 - 50 = 10,950 USDT
• Net Inflow = 0
• Today’s PNL = 10,950 - 11,000 = -50 USDT
• Today’s PNL % = -50 / 11,000 = -0.45%

At T + 9 hours, User A transfers in an additional 1,000 USDT:

• Beginning Wallet Balance (T + 0h) = 11,000 USDT
• Ending Wallet Balance (T + 9h) = 11,000 - 50 + 1,000 = 11,950 USDT
• Net Inflow = 1,000 USDT
• Today’s PNL = 11,950 - 11,000 - 1000 = -50 USDT
• Today’s PNL % = -50 / 11,000 = -0.45%

At T + 25 hours, BTC price has increased to $55,000 and user closes his position after paying another funding payment of 50 USDT:

• Beginning Wallet Balance (previous EOD) = 11,950 USDT
• Profit = (55,000 - 50,000) * 0.2 = 1,000 USDT
• Ending Wallet Balance (T + 25h) = 11,950 - 50 (funding payment) + 1,000 (profit) = 12,900 USDT
• Net Inflow (for today) = 0
• Today’s PNL = 12,900 - 11,950 = 950 USDT
• Today’s PNL % = 950 / 11,000 = 8.64%

Cumulative PNL = (-50) + 950 = 900 USDT

Cumulative PNL% = 900 / [11,000 + (1000 / 2 days)] = 900 / 11,500 = 7.83%
