Frequently Asked Questions About the Crypto Tax Calculator

Is this crypto tax calculator free to use?
Yes — completely free, with no account required. CryptoTaxSentry is supported by display advertising so it can remain free for all users. You can run unlimited scenarios without signing up for anything.
Does the calculator store my financial data?
No. Every calculation runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your purchase price, selling price, staking rewards, and tax rate are never sent to a server or stored anywhere. Close the tab and all inputs are gone. You can verify this yourself by opening your browser's developer tools and watching the Network tab while using the calculator.
Which countries does the calculator support?
The calculator is built specifically for the United States (IRS rules) and the United Kingdom (HMRC rules). Select your region using the USA/UK toggle at the top. UK mode applies the correct 18%/24% CGT rates, locks the tax rate to HMRC's two valid options, and automatically deducts the £3,000 Annual Exempt Amount from your capital gain.
Does the calculator account for the UK's tax-free allowance?
Yes. In UK mode, the calculator automatically applies the £3,000 Annual Exempt Amount (AEA) to your capital gain before calculating tax owed. This is shown as a separate line in the results panel ("UK Tax-Free Allowance Applied: -£3,000"). Note that the AEA applies to capital gains only — staking income is taxed separately as income and the AEA does not apply to it.
Can I use this calculator for filing my tax return?
No — and we are very clear about this. CryptoTaxSentry is a planning and estimation tool, not a filing tool. It does not account for your full income picture, all deductions, state or local taxes, or every transaction in your portfolio. Use it to understand your approximate position before making decisions. For actual filing, use a qualified CPA (US) or accountant (UK). See our full disclaimer for details.
How accurate is the crypto tax estimate?
The calculator uses a simplified flat-rate model rather than a full progressive tax bracket system. It gives you a directional estimate — useful for scenario planning and understanding order of magnitude — but not a precise, audit-ready figure. Your actual liability depends on your total income, filing status, applicable deductions, and every other position in your portfolio. Read our How It Works guide for a full explanation of what each result field means and its limitations.
Where do the tax rates in the calculator come from?
All rates are sourced from primary government documents. US long-term CGT brackets (0%, 15%, 20%) are from IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32. UK CGT rates (18% Basic Rate, 24% Higher Rate) are from GOV.UK following the Autumn Budget 2024, effective 30 October 2024. The UK £3,000 Annual Exempt Amount is confirmed from GOV.UK Capital Gains Tax rates and allowances guidance for 2025/26 and 2026/27.
