Crypto Capital Gains Tax by Jurisdiction — 9 Tax Regimes Compared
The same gain is taxed very differently depending on where you live and how long you held. Each page in this library takes one jurisdiction, shows the rate the estimator applies on both sides of the one-year boundary, and works the arithmetic across a range of gains so the size of the bill is obvious before you file.

Frequently asked questions
Where do these rates come from?
They are the nine entries in the estimator's own tax table, each one a flat rate applied to the net gain. The pages restate them so you can see the arithmetic on a range of gains before you enter your own numbers, and so the assumptions behind the tax line are visible rather than hidden in code.
How accurate is a flat-rate estimate?
It is a planning figure, not a filing. Real liabilities depend on your other income, your marginal band, loss carry-forwards, reporting obligations and how long each lot was held. Treat these pages as a way to size the bill before talking to an accountant.
