Germany Crypto Tax Calculator

Tax Treatment in Germany

Cryptocurrency is classified as a private asset in Germany. Gains from the sale of cryptocurrencies are tax-free if the holding period exceeds one year. If sold within one year of acquisition, gains are taxed as other income at the individual's marginal income tax rate (up to 45% plus solidarity surcharge). There is also a de minimis exemption of €600 per year for short-term gains; if total short-term crypto gains remain below this threshold, they are entirely tax-free.
