How is crypto tax calculated?
Crypto is treated as property in most countries. When you sell, you owe tax on the capital gain — the difference between what you paid and what you sold for. Short-term gains (held under 1 year) are typically taxed at a higher rate than long-term gains.

Frequently Asked Questions
Crypto capital gains tax is calculated based on the difference between your cost basis (the purchase price plus fees) and your selling price. If you sell a cryptocurrency for more than its cost basis, you realize a taxable capital gain.
Short-term capital gains apply to assets held for one year or less, and are taxed at your standard income tax rate. Long-term capital gains apply to assets held for more than a year and enjoy lower tax rates (usually 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on income brackets).
Common tax optimization strategies include holding assets for longer than a year to qualify for long-term rates, tracking transaction fees to adjust your cost basis, and harvesting tax losses to offset capital gains.
