HOW TO USE

  1. 1

    Enter your total investment in USD — the total amount you spent to buy ALGO.

  2. 2

    Enter your buy price — ALGO typically trades between $0.10 and $2.00. Enter the full decimal e.g. 0.25 for 25 cents.

  3. 3

    Enter your sell price — the current or target price per ALGO. Use the live market price for unrealised P&L.

  4. 4

    Enter your exchange fees — most major exchanges charge 0.1%–0.5% per trade for ALGO.

  5. 5

    Select your holding period — under 1 year for short-term ordinary income rates, over 1 year for long-term capital gains rates.

  6. 6

    Select your tax rate. Note: governance rewards received during each quarterly period are taxed as ordinary income at fair market value when received, separately from capital gains on your ALGO sale.

WORKED EXAMPLE

Example: You invested $1,000 in ALGO at $0.25 per ALGO and sold at $1.85. ALGO purchased = $1,000 ÷ $0.25 = 4,000 ALGO. Gross proceeds = 4,000 × $1.85 = $7,400. Buy fee (0.1%) = $1.00. Sell fee (0.1%) = $7.40. Cost basis = $1,001. Net proceeds = $7,392.60. Net profit = $6,391.60. ROI = 638.52%. Break-even price = $0.2505. At 22% short-term tax rate: tax = $1,406.15, after-tax profit = $4,985.45.
