How Crypto Taxes Are Calculated
Cryptocurrency taxes are generally based on capital gains. The gain is calculated as the difference between your purchase price (cost basis) and the sale price.
Tax rates depend on whether the gain is classified as short-term or long-term, as well as your country’s tax laws. This calculator provides a simplified estimate.
