  Calculating the short-term capital gains tax on your cryptocurrency trades is an important step in managing your finances. Here's a breakdown of the process. First, gather all the necessary information, such as the purchase price, any fees or commissions, and the fair market value of the cryptocurrency at the time of the trade. Subtract the purchase price from the fair market value to calculate your capital gain. Keep in mind that short-term capital gains are taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. If you're unsure about any aspect of the calculation, consider consulting a tax professional. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation.
