Quick estimate

Quick crypto tax estimate for a single Australian transaction

Enter the cost and sale amount of a single crypto transaction to get an instant capital gains tax estimate. This uses 2025-26 Australian individual tax rates including the 50% CGT discount for assets held over 12 months.

How this estimate works

The estimator calculates the capital gain (sale minus cost), applies the 50% CGT discount if held over 12 months, then estimates the additional tax by comparing your total taxable income with and without the gain. This gives you the marginal tax impact of the crypto transaction.

When to use the full calculator instead

If you have multiple buy and sell events, swaps between coins, or staking income, the full calculator uses FIFO parcel matching to track cost bases across all transactions. This quick estimate is only for a single, straightforward buy-then-sell scenario.
