Country rule snapshot
Tax treatment: ATO guidance treats crypto assets as CGT assets in many investment cases, with capital gains included in income tax calculations rather than taxed under a separate stand-alone tax.
Holding rule: A simple 50% CGT discount assumption is applied in this v1 tool when the holding period exceeds 12 months.
Cost basis model: This v1 tool uses a single disposal cost basis and does not attempt to model the full set of CGT methods or exceptions.
How to use this calculator
- 1. Enter the quantity sold and your buy and sell price per coin.
- 2. Choose a simple marginal-rate preset or switch to custom if you already know the rate you want to test.
- 3. Add buy and sell dates so the tool can apply its simple 12-month discount assumption where relevant.
- 4. Open advanced options if you need to include fees or a manual adjustment.
- 5. Review the estimate against ATO guidance, especially if personal-use, business-income, or method-selection issues may apply.
Best for a quick single-sale estimate, not a full Australian CGT calculation.
