🧾 Estimated Crypto Tax
A simplified estimate for general information only, not professional tax advice — crypto tax rules are complex, jurisdiction-specific, and include netting, wash-sale, and income treatments this tool omits. Consult a qualified tax professional.
What is a Crypto Tax Calculator?
A crypto tax calculator estimates the capital-gains tax on your trades. For each disposal it takes the proceeds and the cost basis to find the gain or loss, then sorts it by holding period — short-term if held 365 days or fewer, long-term if held longer — because the two are usually taxed at different rates.
It applies your rates to the net gain in each bucket, floors a losing bucket at zero, and reports the net gain and estimated tax. This is a simplified estimate for general information only, not tax advice — crypto tax rules are complex and jurisdiction-specific, so consult a qualified professional.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How is crypto taxed?
In most jurisdictions, selling, swapping, or spending crypto is a taxable disposal, and you owe tax on the gain — proceeds minus cost basis. Buying and holding usually isn't taxable, but earning crypto (staking, mining, airdrops) is often taxed as income. This tool estimates the capital-gains portion from the disposals you enter.
What's the difference between short-term and long-term gains?
Holding period decides the rate. In this calculator, a disposal held 365 days or fewer is short-term; held more than 365 days it's long-term. Long-term gains typically enjoy a lower rate than short-term gains, which are often taxed like ordinary income — so a longer hold can meaningfully reduce the tax on the same profit.
Can crypto losses offset my gains?
Usually, yes. Losses on some disposals offset gains on others when you total up the year. In this tool, losses within a bucket reduce that bucket's net gain, and a net loss in a bucket is floored at zero tax rather than creating a refund. Real rules on loss carryovers and cross-bucket netting vary by country.
Is this a substitute for tax filing software or an accountant?
No. This is a simplified estimate for general information only. It ignores fee adjustments, specific-lot accounting, income events, wash-sale rules, and jurisdiction specifics. Crypto tax is complex — use it to ballpark your liability, then rely on dedicated software and a qualified tax professional to file.
