Crypto and capital gains
Estimate the federal tax on a crypto or other asset sale, using the 2026 long-term capital gains thresholds.
An estimate for planning, not tax advice. It leaves out state tax and the 3.8% net investment income tax. Rates from IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32.
Questions about this
Is crypto taxable when I sell it?
Generally, yes. The IRS treats digital assets as property, so selling or trading them can create a capital gain or loss. The rate depends on how long you held the asset and on your income.
What is the difference between short-term and long-term?
An asset held for more than a year generally gets long-term rates of 0%, 15% or 20%. A gain on an asset held for a year or less is taxed at your ordinary income tax rate.
