Calculation assumptions

The calculator uses the tax rates you enter and applies them to the taxable capital gain after eligible loss offsets. It does not automatically determine federal, state or local rates, exemptions, primary-residence exclusions, depreciation recapture or asset-specific rules.

Frequently asked questions
What is adjusted cost basis?

Adjusted cost basis generally includes the purchase price plus qualifying acquisition costs and certain improvements or adjustments.

What is the difference between short-term and long-term gains?

The classification usually depends on how long the asset was held. Tax treatment can differ, so use the rate appropriate for your situation.

Can capital losses reduce taxable gains?

Capital losses may offset capital gains subject to applicable tax rules and limitations. This calculator lets you enter an offset amount for planning.
