Crypto Tax Calculator: assumptions and common mistakes
A useful estimate starts with the right inputs. Check the following assumptions and limits before applying the result to your situation.
- Trading-disposal estimate only. Mining, staking, gifts, fees, residency and other income require separate treatment.
- Use the rate and eligibility rules that apply to your transaction. An example rate does not establish a tax liability or entitlement.
