Frequently Asked Questions
Estimate the capital gains tax on a crypto trade across five jurisdictions. Educational estimate only — not tax advice.
How is my estimated tax calculated?
We take your proceeds minus cost basis to find the capital gain, then apply the selected jurisdiction's rules — holding-period treatment, tax-free allowances, and marginal or flat rates — stacked on top of the other annual income you enter.
Why only these five jurisdictions?
US, UK, Germany, India, and Australia all have clear, published crypto capital-gains rules that can be reliably encoded as a formula. Many other countries either lack clear guidance or hinge on facts-and-circumstances (like whether trading counts as a business), which a simple calculator can't answer.
Why does the holding period matter?
The US, Germany, and Australia all tax assets held longer than a year (12 months for Australia) more favorably — Germany even makes long-held crypto tax-free. The UK and India don't distinguish by holding period.
Is this tax advice?
No. This is an educational estimate that doesn't account for state/local taxes, other gains or losses in the same tax year, specific cost-basis elections, or your complete financial situation. Always consult a licensed tax professional before filing.
What if I made a loss?
This calculator shows $0 estimated tax on a loss. It doesn't model offsetting a loss against other gains or income — real tax treatment of losses varies by jurisdiction and is best confirmed with a professional.
