Refer-a-Friend Program - FAQ

Our Refer-a-Friend Program is a great way to share Crypto Tax Calculator with your friends and get rewarded in the process. Here’s everything you need to know about how it works!

How does the Refer-a-Friend program work?

Log into your Crypto Tax Calculator account here
1. If you don’t have an existing account, you can sign up for one.
  
  Important: If you’re signing up for the first time and want to use a referral, make sure to sign up using your friend’s referral link. If you sign up without it, we won’t be able to apply the referral discount later.
2. If you don’t have a referral link and just want to sign up normally, you can create an account here.
In the bottom of the sidebar on the left, click on the tab ‘Refer & earn $100’
1. Alternatively, you can go directly to this link.

From here, you can copy and paste your unique referral link to share with your friends.
1. We also have options to share directly on X or send your link to friends via several social platforms.

When your friend signs up using your link, they receive 20% off their first-year subscription.
Once your friend completes their purchase, you’ll earn $100 cash or 100% of their actual spend, whichever is lower.
You can track your referrals and payout in the ‘Refer a friend’ page

What rewards do I get as a referrer?

For every user that signs up to CTC and purchases a plan for the first time using your unique referral link, you'll receive $100 cash or the full amount the referred user pays for their plan, whichever is lower.

NOTE: Rewards apply only to your friends' first-year sign-ups (i.e., you won’t earn rewards on their subscription renewals).

Example 1

You refer a friend who purchases the Hobbyist plan for $99 USD.
With the 20% discount, they pay $79.20 USD.
As the referrer, you receive the lower of either $100 cash or your friend's actual spend.
In this case, you receive $79.20 USD.

	Plan price (USD)	Friend pays (USD)	Referrer earns (USD)
Hobbyist	$99	$79.20	$79.20

Example 2

You refer a friend who purchases the Investor plan for $249 USD.
With the 20% discount, they pay $199.20 USD.
Since the referral reward is capped at $100 per referral, you receive $100 USD.

	Plan price (USD)	Friend pays (USD)	Referrer earns (USD)
Investor	$249	$199.20	$100

How are rewards paid out?

Rewards are issued in the local currency of the referrer. For example:
- If Aussie Alan refers British Bruce, then:
  - Aussie Alan earns $100 AUD (assuming British Bruce’s spend is over $100 AUD equivalent).
- Meanwhile, Bruce will receive the 20% off discount in GBP (on his first-year subscription).
Payments will be distributed through PayPal 60 days after the month ends in which they subscribed to a plan. To qualify, your friend must sign up using your personal referral link.
- Once the 60 days if up, you can ‘request payment’
- It will then go for processing and be sent to your connected PayPal account.
Self-referrals are ineligible to receive reward benefits.

What does my friend get?

Every referred user will receive a 20% discount on their first-year Crypto Tax Calculator subscription when they sign up using your unique referral link.

What if one of my referred friends requests for a refund?

If a referred friend requests a refund for their subscription within 30 days, any referral rewards earned from that transaction will be deducted from your reward balance. This ensures that rewards are only issued for subscribers that have held a paid plan for over 60 days.

Who can participate?

Any Crypto Tax Calculator user (free or paid) can participate in the program with the exception of:
- Users in India, South Africa and Japan (due to currency management challenges).
- Firms & users with an accountant portal
  - Including clients of accountants

How can I change my payout details?

Simply navigate to the ‘refer-a-friend’ page, and click ‘Change PayPal’ in the bottom right corner.

What happened to the old referral program?

The previous program (Give $40, Get $40 in credit toward your subscription) is no longer available, in favour of the new program which provides you a greater benefit for referring your friends.

What does this mean for you?

While the program is no longer available, any of the outstanding rewards you are owed will be honoured.
If you have outstanding credits, they will remain on your account and the credit will be deducted from your account in your next subscription payment.
Going forward, any new users you refer will earn you rewards based on the new referral program.
Your referral link will remain the same.

NOTE: As per the terms of the previous program, you cannot exchange your referral credit from the previous program for cash.
