Tracking Zcash for Taxes: Cost Basis and P&L

June 8, 2026

Good tax records start with good transaction records. For Zcash, that means logging every buy and sell with its price and date.

What you need

• Cost basis: the average price you paid for your ZEC.
• Realized P&L: gains/losses from sells.
• Unrealized P&L: paper gains on what you still hold.

A transaction-based tracker computes all three automatically as you enter trades.

Keep it private

Zcash Portfolio Tracker stores everything locally — no account, no cloud — so your tax records aren’t sitting on someone else’s server.
