A Few Things This Calculator Assumes
Is every crypto sale a capital gain?
For most investors, yes. Selling, swapping one coin for another, or spending crypto are all CGT events. If you're trading as a business or earning staking rewards, different rules apply (that income is ordinary income, not CGT) and this calculator won't cover it.
How does the 50% discount work?
If you're an individual and held the asset for more than 12 months before disposing of it, only half the net gain is taxable. We apply your capital losses first, then halve what's left, which is the order the ATO requires.
What about losses on FTX, Celsius or a rug-pull?
Capital losses reduce your gains. Put them in the "other capital losses" field and they'll be applied before the discount. Claiming a loss on a lost or worthless asset has specific evidence requirements, which is the kind of thing we document properly when we lodge.
