Blockpit pricing: the crypto tax report costs €49 to €549 per tax year

Blockpit charges between €49 and €549 per tax year for its crypto tax report. Which of the five plans applies to you depends solely on the number of your transactions in the tax year concerned, not on the value of your portfolio and not on the number of connected exchanges. That is what Blockpit's pricing page shows as of November 8, 2026.

If you bought Bitcoin a few times during the year and sold once, you end up in the smallest package. If you trade with bots, use DeFi or have staking rewards credited daily, you quickly break through the 1,000-transaction limit. On top of that come two add-ons with their own price: the Blockpit Plus subscription at €59 a year and the Expert Service from €99. You need neither of them for the tax report itself.

This guide works through the plans, shows the pitfalls when catching up on several years and explains what the report can and cannot do at the German tax office. A hands-on review of the software, covering usability and imports, is in our Blockpit review.

How much does Blockpit cost? Five plans for the crypto tax report

Blockpit sells the tax report as a one-off purchase per tax year. It is explicitly not a subscription, so it does not renew automatically. The packages are named after clothing sizes and differ only in their transaction limit:

The right-hand column is our own calculation from the price list: price divided by the transaction limit. Prices are identical on the German, Austrian and international pricing pages. You can pay by credit card, PayPal, Klarna Sofort, Apple Pay or Google Pay. If you buy in the app, payment runs through the App Store.

Transactions in the tax year: how Blockpit calculates the price

What counts is the number of transactions in the tax year concerned, not your entire transaction history since your first purchase. Someone who was very active in 2021 and only ran a savings plan in 2025 pays for the 2025 report according to the quiet year. That works in favour of long-term investors: old holdings still have to be imported so that Blockpit knows the acquisition costs, but they do not drive up the price of the current report.

A transaction is any event the software books individually: purchase, sale, coin-to-coin swap, deposit and withdrawal, transfer between your own wallets, every staking credit. This is exactly where the calculation trap lies. A savings plan executed weekly generates 52 purchases a year and already breaks the Small limit. Staking with daily payouts adds up to 365 credits per coin. Anyone staking three coins exceeds 1,000 events from that alone and needs at least Large.

So before you buy, check how many events Blockpit actually shows after the import. That costs nothing, because importing and checking the calculation are free. You only pay when you want to download the report.

Price per transaction: those who use their package fully pay the least

The table shows a pattern common in tax software: the larger the package, the cheaper each transaction. In the Small package, one event costs almost a euro at full use; in X-Large, just over two cents. For choosing a plan, though, that is secondary. What matters is that you do not buy too small.

A worked example from the price list: with 60 transactions a year you are ten events above Small and need Medium for €99. With 1,050 transactions you are just over Medium and pay €149 for Large. The steps between the tiers are €50, €50, €80 and €320. The last step from X-Large to XX-Large is by far the largest. If you are just under 10,000 events, count carefully before the turn of the year whether automated micro-purchases, for example, can be consolidated.

Tax software providers differ less at entry level than in the upper tiers. For an overview of which crypto tax calculators exist besides Blockpit and what they cost, see our comparison of crypto tax tools and portfolio trackers.

Transaction limit exceeded: the upgrade only costs the difference

What happens if a forgotten exchange turns up after you have bought? According to the FAQ on the pricing page, Blockpit blocks the report download as soon as you exceed your package's transaction limit. Upgrading to the next package makes the report available again immediately. You only pay the difference to your previous package, and your data is retained.

An example: you buy Medium for €99, then import an old wallet and end up with 1,400 transactions. The upgrade to Large then costs you €50, so €149 in total. That makes it no more expensive than necessary; the only nuisance is the second payment. The better order is still to import everything first and buy afterwards.

Catching up on several tax years: each report is paid for separately

Every additional tax year needs its own report, including past years. Blockpit says so in its guide to the tax report. Anyone who has to catch up on three years and had between 50 and 1,000 transactions in each pays for Medium three times, or €297.

This is the key difference from providers that work with annual subscriptions. There, one paid year often covers the evaluation of the entire imported history. At Blockpit, by contrast, you pay for each year you want to file. For amended returns at the tax office this adds up: anyone wanting to correct 2022 to 2025, for instance, buys four reports.

Conversely, you pay nothing for years in which you need no report. A year without a profitable sale and without income from staking or lending often does not need to appear in the German tax return at all. Whether that applies to you depends on the exemption limits: €1,000 of gains a year from private disposal transactions under Section 23 of the German Income Tax Act (EStG), and €256 for other income such as staking. Where each figure goes in the tax return is explained in our guide crypto in your tax return.

Blockpit Plus for €59: holding period tracker and source of funds in a subscription

Blockpit Plus is a separate subscription at €59 a year, cancellable at any time to the end of the term and available as a 14-day trial without payment details. It contains the premium features that go beyond the tax report: holding periods for all holdings at a glance, tax simulation of sales in advance, spotting opportunities for loss offsetting, daily automatic sync, extended portfolio charts and an unlimited number of source-of-funds statements.

The holding period is the core of this offer. Crypto assets held for more than a year can be sold tax-free in Germany. A tracker that shows for every single tranche when the period ends saves you working through purchase dates. Whether the rule will stay is politically open: the German government had not passed the planned abolition by early November, and we follow the status in our article on the crypto holding period 2027.

A source-of-funds statement is a document that proves where your crypto wealth comes from. Banks and exchanges require it under anti-money-laundering law for larger deposits from crypto sales. Its price has changed: according to our price comparison of September 2, 2026, Plus was then listed on the pricing page at €3.99 a month with annual billing, and source-of-funds reports were available as credits from €19.99 each. Today, unlimited statements are included in the annual subscription. Anyone needing two or more statements a year is better off with the subscription. Why a missing statement can block a deposit is shown in our guide to source of funds at crypto exchanges.

Expert Service and Expert Check: €99 for 30 minutes, €199 per hour

If you have no time for the import or get stuck on DeFi transactions, you can pay Blockpit staff to do it. The offer has three tiers. An initial 15-minute call is free and serves as an assessment. The Expert Check costs €99 for 30 minutes and covers a review of data quality, the assessment of complex transactions and an action plan. Full preparation costs €199 per hour: setting up the account, cleaning up transactions, closing data gaps and preparing the report.

Important for your budget: the Expert Service covers only the experts' work. You buy the tax report for the tax year concerned separately, and Blockpit Plus as well. Anyone needing two hours of Expert Service for a year with 2,000 transactions therefore pays €398 for the work and €149 for the report. This is not tax advice within the meaning of the German Tax Advisory Act. If you have questions about how your income should be classified, you still need a tax adviser.

Free portfolio tracking: import and check without buying

Portfolio tracking at Blockpit costs nothing. You can connect wallets and exchanges, import transactions and track your holdings without paying. As import routes, Blockpit lists read-only API connections for exchanges such as Bitpanda, Binance, Kraken or Coinbase, public wallet addresses for blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum or Solana, and CSV import for platforms without a direct connection.

The portfolio tracker is therefore also the test environment for the tax report. You can see whether all categories are right, whether transfers between your own wallets are correctly recognised and how many events add up. You only pay at download. For choosing a plan, that is the most important point in this article, because it saves you from buying a package that is too small.

Free does not mean without a trade-off: connecting an exchange via API gives Blockpit read access to your trading data. Create a key for this that can only read and does not allow withdrawals. Larger holdings you keep for the long term are safer in your own wallet than on the exchange, and you import their public address in the same way.

The tax report at the German tax office: Anlage SO, ELSTER and WISO export

The Blockpit tax report download consists of several files: the tax report as a PDF with results by category, the transaction details with acquisition cost, proceeds and result per event, filling aids for the Anlage SO and Anlage KAP tax forms for transfer into ELSTER, the complete transaction history as a CSV and an export file for WISO Steuer.

Is Blockpit accepted by the German tax office? The report is not an official document. Blockpit itself writes that it would be incorrect to describe it as an official report, a tax certificate, certified by the Federal Ministry of Finance or guaranteed to be accepted. It is a tax calculation that prepares and documents your return. The tax office may additionally request the underlying files and records. So keep the report, transaction details and export files together and unaltered.

For the costs, this means: the €49 to €549 buy you calculation work and auditable documentation, not a guarantee towards the tax office. From the 2026 tax year, crypto service providers in the EU report customer data to the tax authorities under the DAC8 directive. Discrepancies between your return and these reports are therefore more likely to be noticed than before, and a clean record of every transaction becomes more valuable.

Blockpit vs CoinTracking: price per tax year against annual subscription

Which is better, CoinTracking or Blockpit? On cost, the answer depends on the pattern of your years. CoinTracking sells annual subscriptions which, according to our analysis of November 7, 2026, cost between €39 and €769 a year depending on transaction count and term. The details are in our guide to CoinTracking pricing.

Blockpit, by contrast, charges per tax year. If you trade a similar amount every year and only file the current year, you pay a fixed annual amount under both models. If you catch up on several past years at once, Blockpit charges for each year separately. If, on the other hand, you only sell in some years, Blockpit only charges in those years and you have no subscription to cancel. Beyond price, what counts is the integration with your own exchanges and wallets, the handling of DeFi transactions and usability. You can test that yourself in both providers' free import.

Blockpit pricing: import your data first, then pay for the plan

1. Count your transactions before you buy. Connect all exchanges and wallets for free and read off the number of events in the tax year. Only then choose between Small, Medium, Large, X-Large and XX-Large. Which other providers are worth considering is shown in our tax tool comparison.
2. Keep records ready for the bank. If you plan larger payouts from crypto sales to your current account, you need proof of the source of funds. When you sell via a regulated crypto exchange, the necessary statements and trading data are cleanly available.
3. Keep long-term holdings separate. Coins you hold beyond the one-year holding period are safer in your own wallet. Which devices are suitable is shown in our hardware wallet comparison; you then import the public address into the tracker for free.
