What this page is best for

Use this page when you want a quick federal estimate for a single digital-asset sale plus any reward income you received during the year. It is not a replacement for lot-by-lot crypto tax software, but it is a fast planning tool for a common scenario.

Methodology

How this calculator works

  • Treat digital assets as property for federal tax purposes, matching the IRS digital-asset framework.
  • Classify sale outcomes as short-term or long-term and combine taxable rewards or service income with ordinary income.
  • Estimate tax from the blended result and reflect the federal value of capital losses within the planning limits used on the page.
Worked example

Example scenario

A taxpayer with staking income and a mix of short-term and long-term crypto sales can use this page to see how ordinary income from rewards interacts with capital gains and losses in a single federal estimate.

Frequently asked questions
How does this calculator treat crypto sales?
It treats a crypto sale like a sale of property. Gain or loss is based on sale proceeds minus cost basis and selling fees, consistent with IRS digital asset guidance.
How does it treat staking or reward income?
Rewards income is treated here as ordinary income for the year received. The calculator adds it to taxable income before applying ordinary federal tax rates.
Does this include every crypto tax rule?
No. This page is a simplified federal estimator and does not cover every lot-selection method, cross-wallet basis issue, or state tax rule.
