We are updating the Crypto experience related to Total Gain and Total Return. Please ensure that your app is up to date as we continue this rollout.

PayPal recommends you seek the advice of a professional tax advisor for any questions regarding your Crypto transactions for Gains/Loss, cost basis method, and additional tax filing requirements. 

Total Return
PayPal reflects your crypto balance position with real-time returns based on current market conditions. This is reflected within the Crypto section of your PayPal account.

We calculate Total Return by finding the difference between the original purchase price of your crypto including fees, and the price it’s selling for right now.
