How do I calculate if I made a profit or loss from my DBS RSP ETF? I’m confused by the data given with reference to the amount I have invested monthly. Help!!?

Do I do the sum this way?

Amt displayed as ‘total market value’ on the investment column - (Amt. invested monthly x total months invested)

So if it’s a negative value = loss and vice versa.

Is that how I do it? Please help :(
