This guide explains how to use the Count.ie crypto income receipt tracker. Value tokens from your evidenced EUR price and timestamp; estimate tax only for confirmed employment or trading. Follow the inputs, method and worked example below, then compare your own scenario.
Guide written .
Open the Crypto income receipt tracker calculatorWhat to prepare
- Find the relevant statement, payslip or transaction record rather than estimating from a bank balance.
- Identify the tax year, transaction date and whether each amount is gross, net, annual or monthly.
- Separate known facts from assumed rates and check eligibility against the linked official sources.
Understand the inputs
- Time received with UTC offset (HH:MMZ or HH:MM+01:00)
- Example defaults are not your actual receipt time. Enter the timestamp supporting your price.
- Confirmed receipt treatment
Options: Valuation only — do not estimate tax; Confirmed employment salary (PAYE/Class A); Confirmed trading income (Class S); Other / unconfirmed — tax calculation unsupported.
- Other annual SAME-category gross pay / trading profit (€)
- Do not mix salary and trading here. Trading profit is after existing allowable costs. Default zero is an assumption, not inferred personal income.
- Confirmed deductible expenses for these trading receipts (€)

The calculation method
Receipt EUR value = quantity × evidenced user-supplied EUR unit price. For a confirmed supported category, compare annual Income Tax, USC and appropriate Class A/Class S PRSI before and after the receipt. This applies actual bands and thresholds instead of assuming a flat 20%/40% rate.

How to interpret the result
Distinguish a tax saving, a tax bill, cash received and money remaining: they are not interchangeable. An estimate does not establish eligibility, filing compliance or when a refund will be paid.
Compare the same income or transaction under one changed assumption at a time. Keep a record of the year, date and assumptions so a change in the result can be explained.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not mix tax years or apply a newly announced measure to an earlier transaction.
- Avoid counting an allowance, credit, contribution or loss twice.
- Check exclusions and personal circumstances before relying on the headline result.
Assumptions and sources
Default is valuation only, not a tax classification. No historical price lookup or tax treatment is inferred from a sentence. Employment and trading reuse the selected receipt-year engines; mixed income, miscellaneous/passive receipts and other PRSI status are unsupported. Later disposals can separately trigger CGT.
