# Taxation

#### **Claim Tax:** 

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="150"></th><th width="150"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Rewards Claim</strong></td><td><strong>Tax Percentage</strong></td></tr><tr><td>0-10 Days</td><td>30%</td></tr><tr><td>11-20 Days</td><td>20%</td></tr><tr><td>21-59 Days</td><td>10%</td></tr><tr><td>60+ Days</td><td>2.5%</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Sell Tax:** \
Day 1 will start with a 30% sales tax that will decay by 2.5% each day until it reaches 10% where it will remain. See more in [The Tokenomics](/pirate-nodes/project-run-through/the-tokenomics.md)

**Transfer Tax:** \
0%&#x20;

**Merge Tax/Merger Fee:** \
Paid in $DOUB:

Rowboat -> Sloop = 0.4416\
Sloop -> Brigantine = 1.1424\
Brigantine -> Galleon = 10.15392

$$
nodesRequired = nextTierCost/currentTierCost
$$

{% hint style="info" %}
E.g. Number of Rowboat nodes required to upgrade a Rowboat(3) = Sloop(3) / Rowboat(1)&#x20;
{% endhint %}

$$
mergerFee = 20Days \* nodesRequired \* dailyReward
$$

{% hint style="info" %}
E.g. Merging Rowboat nodes to a Sloop will cost an additional 20 \* 3 \* 0.0074 = 0.44 $DOUB.&#x20;

All merger fees have an approximate **\~15 Day ROI once upgraded**
