About Crypto P&L Calculator

This calculator computes profit or loss from cryptocurrency trades, including exchange fees and applicable taxes. Formula: P&L = (Sell Price - Buy Price) x Quantity - Exchange Fees. Crypto exchanges typically charge 0.1-0.5% per trade (maker/taker fees). Cost basis methods: FIFO (First In First Out, default for tax purposes), LIFO (Last In First Out), or average cost method.

Indian crypto taxation (Finance Act 2022): VDA (Virtual Digital Asset) gains are taxed at a flat 30% (plus cess) regardless of holding period and income level. No deduction is allowed except cost of acquisition (no trading expenses, no depreciation, no set-off against other losses). Crypto-to-crypto trades are taxable events (each swap triggers capital gains computation). TDS at 1% on transactions above Rs 50,000 per year (Rs 10,000 for specified persons) under Section 194S. TDS is deducted by the exchange on the seller. Maintain detailed trade records as exchanges report to tax authorities. Losses from crypto cannot be set off against any other income including other crypto gains in the same year.
