Country rule snapshot
Tax treatment: If the disposition is on capital account, CRA guidance generally treats one-half of the capital gain as taxable capital gain.
Holding rule: This v1 estimator does not change the tax formula based on holding period for Canadian disposals.
Cost basis model: This v1 tool uses a single disposal cost basis rather than a complete adjusted cost base ledger across identical properties.
How to use this calculator
- 1. Enter the quantity sold and your buy and sell price per coin.
- 2. Use a marginal rate that reflects the tax rate you want to test on the taxable capital gain portion.
- 3. Add fees and any manual adjustment if you want the estimate to reflect your own records more closely.
- 4. Keep in mind this v1 tool applies the one-half inclusion approach, not a full adjusted cost base ledger.
- 5. Compare the result with CRA guidance before relying on it for reporting.
Best for a quick capital-account estimate, not a full CRA filing workflow.
