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
