What Is the Crypto Tax Estimator?

The Crypto Tax Estimator helps you calculate potential capital gains taxes on your cryptocurrency transactions. Import your trades from exchanges, select your preferred accounting method (FIFO, LIFO, or HIFO), and get a breakdown of short-term and long-term gains.

Tax authorities worldwide now require reporting of crypto gains. Whether you traded Bitcoin, Ethereum, or DeFi tokens, this tool gives you a clear picture of your tax liability before filing season arrives.

The calculator handles complex scenarios including crypto-to-crypto swaps, staking rewards, airdrops, and NFT sales. All calculations happen in your browser — your transaction data is never sent to a server.

Short vs Long-Term Split

Handles hundreds of cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, SOL, and DeFi tokens with historical price lookups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which accounting method should I use?

FIFO is the safest default and is required in some jurisdictions. HIFO can reduce taxable gains by selling your highest-cost lots first, but check with a tax professional for your specific situation.

Does this tool file my taxes?

No. This is an estimator that helps you understand your potential tax liability. Use the exported reports with tax software like TurboTax or give them to your accountant.

Are crypto-to-crypto swaps taxable?

Yes, in most jurisdictions including the US. Swapping ETH for SOL is a taxable event. The tool calculates gains on these transactions automatically.

Is my data stored on your servers?

No. All calculations happen locally in your browser. Your transaction data never leaves your device.
