What is a Crypto Tax Calculator?

Cryptocurrency is treated as property in most countries, meaning every trade, sale, or exchange is a taxable event. A crypto tax calculator determines your capital gains or losses and the applicable tax based on your country and holding period.

Formula

Capital Gain = (Sell Price - Buy Price) x Quantity US Short-term: taxed as ordinary income (10-37%) US Long-term: 0%, 15%, or 20% based on income India: 30% flat on all crypto gains + 1% TDS

Examples

US — Buy 0.5 BTC at $20,000, Sell at $45,000, long-term, 22% bracket

Gross Profit: $12,500 | Long-term CGT (15%): $1,875 | Net: $10,625 | ROI: 125%

India — Buy 0.5 BTC at Rs 16L, Sell at Rs 37L

Gross Profit: Rs 10.5L | Tax (30%): Rs 3.15L | TDS 1%: Rs 37K | Net: Rs 6.98L

Example — United Kingdom

1 ETH bought at £1,200, sold at £2,800 (basic-rate taxpayer, £6K annual CGT exempt). Gain: £1,600 | Within annual exempt amount → CGT: £0

Why Use This?

Crypto taxes catch many investors off guard. A single profitable trade can create a significant tax bill. This calculator helps you estimate your liability before selling so you can plan accordingly — including tax-loss harvesting strategies.

Is crypto taxed in all countries?▼

Most countries tax crypto as property or capital asset. Notable exceptions: Portugal (historically 0% for individuals), UAE (0% personal income tax), El Salvador (Bitcoin legal tender, 0% CGT).

What is tax-loss harvesting in crypto?▼

Selling losing positions to offset gains elsewhere. Unlike stocks, crypto has no wash-sale rule in most countries (including the US as of 2024), making this highly effective.

When is crypto taxed as income?▼

Mining rewards, staking income, airdrops, and DeFi yields are typically taxed as ordinary income at receipt. The crypto's cost basis is its fair market value on the day received.

💡 Tip: Holding crypto for 12+ months qualifies for long-term capital gains rates in the US — saving 10-20% in taxes.
