Crypto Tax Calculator
Estimate the capital gains tax on your Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoin profits - US, UK, Germany and France. With long-term rates and income brackets.
Estimate, not tax advice. Excludes staking/mining income, DeFi, gas fees and state taxes. LTCG 0/15/20% by income; ST = ordinary income; qualified div 15%.
Crypto-only tools miss half the picture. Alvest harvests losses across your crypto and stocks, catches cross-account wash-sale risk, and shows your real return after every tax - the things Koinly and CoinTracker can't.
Crypto tax - FAQ
Is cryptocurrency taxed?
Yes. In most countries selling, swapping or spending crypto is a taxable event - you owe capital gains tax on the profit. Buying and holding is not taxable until you dispose of it.
How is crypto taxed in the US?
Crypto is treated as property. Held one year or less: taxed at your ordinary income rate (10–37%). Held more than a year: long-term rates of 0%, 15% or 20% based on income. Crypto-to-crypto swaps are taxable too.
Does the wash-sale rule apply to crypto?
Historically the US wash-sale rule (§1091) applied to "securities" and crypto fell outside it - so crypto tax-loss harvesting has been allowed. This may change; Alvest flags wash-sale risk on both crypto and stocks so you stay ahead.
Can I offset crypto losses against stock gains?
In most jurisdictions capital losses (crypto or stock) offset capital gains across asset classes. This is where Alvest is unique - it harvests losses across your crypto and stocks together, which crypto-only tools cannot.
