Crypto Capital Gains Tax Calculator

A beginner-friendly overview of how crypto is taxed — capital gains, taxable events, short vs long term, and how to estimate what you owe.

The IRS treats crypto as property, which makes almost every trade a taxable event. Here are the current rates, the forms you file, and the two rule changes that caught people out this year.

HMRC has no separate crypto tax — it uses Capital Gains Tax, an income tax charge on rewards, and share-pooling rules that decide which coins you actually sold. Here is how all three work.

Germany treats crypto unusually kindly: hold for more than a year and the gain is completely tax-free. Here is how §23 EStG works, the €1,000 exemption limit, staking rules and the new DAC8 reporting.

The ATO taxes crypto as a CGT asset, but a 12-month hold halves your taxable gain. Here is how the 50% discount works, when the personal-use exemption applies, and how staking is taxed.

The CRA taxes crypto as a commodity, with only half your capital gain taxable — the feared increase to two-thirds was cancelled. Here is how the ACB method, the superficial loss rule and CARF work.

France taxes crypto only when you cash out to euros — crypto-to-crypto swaps are tax-free. Here is how the 30% flat tax (PFU) works, the €305 exemption, the portfolio gain formula and the account-declaration trap.

The Netherlands does not tax your crypto profits — it taxes a deemed return on what you hold on 1 January. Here is how Box 3 works, the 2026 tax-free allowance, actual-return claims and the big change coming in 2028.

Singapore has no capital gains tax, so individual investors pay nothing on crypto profits. But trading as a business, or earning crypto as income, is taxable. Here is exactly where the line falls.

Portugal is no longer fully tax-free, but it still rewards patience: hold for more than a year and your gain is exempt. Here is how the 28% short-term rate, the 365-day rule and category classification work.

The UAE charges individuals no personal income tax and no capital gains tax on crypto. But corporate tax, VAT on mining and residency rules matter. Here is where the zero-tax story holds and where it doesn't.

The UAE charges no personal income tax on crypto — but that is rarely the number that decides your bill. What the rules really say, and what the country you leave does about it.

India runs one of the world's harshest crypto tax regimes: a flat 30% on every gain, a 1% TDS on each transfer, and no way to offset losses. Here is exactly how Sections 115BBH and 194S work.

Spain taxes crypto gains as savings income on a 19%–28% sliding scale, treats every swap as a disposal, and makes you declare foreign holdings on Modelo 721. Here is how the whole system fits together.

Italy taxes crypto gains at a flat 26% for 2025, rising to 33% from 2026 as the €2,000 exemption disappears — and levies a separate 0.2% wealth tax on holdings. Here is how it all fits together.

Private investors in Switzerland pay no capital gains tax on crypto. Instead there is an annual wealth tax, income tax on staking, and a professional-trader trap that can flip your gains to taxable.

Brazil scrapped its tiered system and monthly exemption. From 2026 a flat 17.5% applies to all crypto gains — including self-custody and offshore wallets. Here is what changed and how it works.

Japan taxes crypto gains as miscellaneous income at progressive rates that can reach around 55%. A reform to a flat 20% is advancing but not yet law. Here is the current system and what may change.

Ireland charges 33% Capital Gains Tax on crypto disposals after a €1,270 annual exemption — but the payment deadline comes almost a year before the return is due. Here is how the Irish system actually works.

New Zealand has no capital gains tax — and that is exactly why crypto is taxed so heavily. IRD treats most crypto profit as ordinary income at up to 39%, and it already holds data on 355,000 NZ crypto users.

SARS taxes crypto either as capital gains (40% inclusion, 18% maximum effective rate) or as ordinary income at up to 45%. Which one applies is a question of intention — and the annual exclusion just rose to R50,000.

Poland taxes crypto at a flat 19% on PIT-38, does not tax crypto-to-crypto swaps at all, and lets unused acquisition costs roll forward indefinitely. It is one of Europe's cleanest regimes — with two sharp edges.

Hong Kong has no capital gains tax, so a genuine long-term crypto investor pays nothing. But profits from a crypto trade are chargeable to profits tax, and the badges of trade decide which you are.

How crypto is taxed in 22 countries, side by side: the headline rate, whether long-term holding helps, and whether a crypto-to-crypto swap is itself a taxable event.

Self-custody has no next of kin, no password reset and no probate department. Without a plan your holdings simply stop existing for everyone else. Here is how to fix that without putting your keys in a will.

How selling a losing position cuts your tax bill, why the saving is smaller than the loss, and the repurchase rule for each country — from the US wash-sale gap to Canada's 61-day window.
