This is a point-in-time estimate using current statutory rates for a single disposal. It does not account for state and provincial taxes (US, CA), the Medicare levy (AU), prior-year carried losses, or wash-sale and loss-restriction rules. Use the Cost Basis Calculator to pick the lots you dispose of. Always confirm with a licensed tax advisor before filing.

What the calculator does

You give it one disposal — the units sold, the purchase price, the sale price, the dates — plus your other income for the year. It applies the current statutory treatment in your chosen jurisdiction and returns the taxable amount, effective rate on that gain, and the tax owed. The side-by-side table at the bottom runs the same gain through all four countries so you can see how treatment differs.

Jurisdiction notes (as of 2026)

United States. Short-term gains (held ≤1 year) are taxed as ordinary income at marginal brackets. Long-term gains (held >1 year) use the 0% / 15% / 20% long-term capital-gains schedule, with the applicable rate determined by stacking the gain on top of your other income. State capital-gains tax is not applied here.

United Kingdom. Crypto disposals are chargeable events subject to Capital Gains Tax. After the £3,000 annual exempt amount, the Autumn 2024 Budget set the “other assets” rates at 18% within the basic-rate band and 24% above. Our basic-rate band assumes your personal allowance is fully used by income.

Australia. There is no separate CGT regime for individuals — net gain adds to assessable income and is taxed at marginal rates. A 50% CGT discount applies for individuals who held the asset >12 months; superannuation funds get a 1/3 discount and pay 15% on the result. The Medicare levy is not applied here.

Canada. 50% of the capital gain is included in taxable income (the inclusion rate). The June 2024 budget proposal to raise this to 2/3 above C$250,000 was deferred and remains in flux — verify with the CRA for your filing year. Provincial surtax beyond our bracket proxy is not applied here.

What the calculator does not do

  • Match disposals to specific lots — use the Cost Basis Calculator for FIFO / LIFO / HIFO lot matching, then feed the resulting basis back in as the purchase price here.
  • Apply prior-year loss carryforwards (US & UK) or carrybacks (CA).
  • Apply the US wash-sale rule or UK bed-and-breakfasting restrictions.
  • Convert currencies — the side-by-side table uses the same numeric gain in each country's own symbol.
  • Replace a tax professional. For anything consequential — large disposals, cross-border situations, business-held crypto — book a CPA, chartered accountant, or tax solicitor.
