Calculating your profits

This might be a very easy thing but still
For example:
The price rises from $2500 to $3000, this in an increase of 1.15%.
So should I do 1.15*(the bitcoin amount I have now at the price of 2500) ?

If you had 2500 usd and bought 1 btc and btc price increased to 3000 usd. Then your USD balance increased 20%.
I advise you to use an application like blockfolio to monitor your holdings.

Use a portfolio, or an exchange. For your question though, you would do
3000-2500= 500
2500/500 = 5 = 1/5 = 20% profit
I don't know where you got 1.15 from?
1.15*2500 = 2875$

"Monitor your holdings"? "Calculate your profits"?
LOL
I'd like to know where to go to sell them for cash. I tried coinbase and their site doesn't work correctly and they have no support ... I waited three days for help and received none! I took mine out of coinbase (they kept some for themselves of course). If anyone ever asked me, I'd strongly advise against using coinbase.

This is simple math, use this equation its very easy to use.
$2500 - 100%
$3000 - x%
now:
x = (3000 * 100) / 2500 = 120%
So u had 100%, now u have 120% so u gained 20%

when people say profit they usually mean in fiat, lets say USD.
if you have invested $1000 for example and price has gone up from $2500 to $3000 that is a 20% rise ([x2-x1 / x1]*100) so you have made 20% profit on your investment which is $1000 and now have $200 profit ($1000* 20%).
you can also multiply the amount of bitcoin you have with the new price.
@$2500, investing $1000 gets you 0.4
BTC
ignoring the fees.
@$3000 the 0.4
BTC
is worth $1200 (aka $200 profit)

If I understand you very well, you are saying, you bought a bitcoin at price let said for example $2500 and the value has grow to $3000, should you sell it you make profit of 1.5%? If this is what you mean then you are right if you converts your bitcoin to dollar that same day. If you did not sell it? you may even sell at lost if btc/usd pull back below your purchased price because of price fluctuations.

What do you mean? it's very simple mathematic calculation.
Profit = (Your current amount - your initial amount)
Profit = $3000-$2500=
$500
%Profit = (Your profit / Your initial amount)*100%
%Profit = ($500/$2500)*100%=
20% profit
OP, what the heck with 1.15% increase?
