How Capital Gains Tax Works
Capital gains tax is applied to the profit you make when selling investments. The calculation depends on how long you held the investment:
Long-Term Capital Gains
- Held for more than 1 year
- Lower tax rates (0%, 15%, or 20%)
- Preferred for tax efficiency
Short-Term Capital Gains
- Held for 1 year or less
- Taxed as ordinary income
- Higher tax rates (10% to 37%)
Important Notes:
- Tax rates vary by country and jurisdiction
- This calculator provides estimates for educational purposes
- Consult a tax professional for accurate tax planning
- Consider tax-loss harvesting to offset gains
