How the Capital Gains Tax Calculator Works
How rates are sourced
We maintain a table of statutory long-term and short-term capital gains rates across 50+ jurisdictions, segmented by asset class where applicable. Rates are simplified for calculation purposes — your actual liability depends on income bracket, allowances, and exemptions specific to your situation. Treat the result as a planning estimate, not a tax filing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Long-term vs short-term — what counts?
In the US: assets held >1 year qualify for lower long-term rates (0%/15%/20%); held ≤1 year, taxed as ordinary income. In the UK: no holding-period distinction; all gains over the annual exempt amount are taxed at 10% or 20% (18%/24% for residential property). Other jurisdictions vary widely — see the dropdown for your country.
Does this include exemptions / allowances?
Major ones — UK CGT annual exempt amount, US wash-sale rules at the surface, crypto loss harvesting — are noted but not always modeled. For complex situations consult a tax professional.
What about loss harvesting?
Most jurisdictions let you offset gains with losses in the same tax year (and often carry forward unused losses). This calculator shows tax on net gains — input your gain after losses are netted.
