How crypto profit and loss is calculated

Your profit on a crypto trade is simply what you got back when you sold, minus what you paid to buy — after accounting for exchange fees on both sides.

Profit / Loss Formula
P/L = Net Sell Value − Total Cost
Total Cost = (Buy Price × Qty) + buy fee. Net Sell Value = (Sell Price × Qty) − sell fee. Example: buy 0.5 BTC at ₹20,00,000 and sell at ₹25,00,000 → roughly ₹2.5 L gross profit before fees and tax.
India Crypto Tax (VDA)
Tax = 30% × Profit + 1% TDS
Gains on Virtual Digital Assets are taxed at a flat 30% (plus surcharge & cess). A 1% TDS is also deducted on the transfer/sale value. Losses cannot be set off against other income or carried forward.

Crypto tax rules to keep in mind

Flat 30% Rate

Profit from crypto (VDA) is taxed at a flat 30% regardless of your income slab. No deductions are allowed except the cost of acquisition.

1% TDS

A 1% TDS is deducted on the sale/transfer value of crypto above the threshold. You can claim it back while filing your ITR if your final tax is lower.

No Loss Set-Off

Losses from one coin cannot be offset against gains from another, against other income, or carried forward to future years. Each gain is taxed on its own.

Frequently asked questions

How is crypto profit taxed in India?

Profit from the transfer of Virtual Digital Assets (crypto, NFTs) is taxed at a flat rate of 30% (plus applicable surcharge and 4% cess) under Section 115BBH. This applies regardless of your income tax slab, and the only deduction allowed is the cost of acquisition.

What is the 1% TDS on crypto?

Under Section 194S, a 1% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is applied on the sale/transfer value of crypto when it crosses the specified threshold. Indian exchanges deduct this automatically. The TDS is not an extra tax — it can be adjusted against your final tax liability or refunded when you file your return.

Are exchange fees included in this calculator?

Yes. The buy fee % is added to your cost of acquisition and the sell fee % is deducted from your sale proceeds, so the profit shown is your net profit after trading fees. The 30% tax estimate is then applied to that net profit.

Can I set off crypto losses against gains?

No. Losses from the transfer of one crypto asset cannot be set off against gains from another crypto asset, against any other income, and cannot be carried forward to future years. Each profitable trade is taxed at 30% on its own.

Is the 30% tax estimate exact?

It is an estimate. The 30% figure shown here is the base flat rate on your profit and does not include surcharge or the 4% health & education cess, which can raise the effective rate. It also does not net the 1% TDS already deducted. Always confirm your final liability with a tax professional or your ITR computation.
