How to Use This Calculator

Step 1: Enter Purchase & Sale Price

Input the price you paid for the asset and the price you sold it for. The calculator will automatically compute your gain or loss.

Step 2: Select Holding Period

Choose short-term (held one year or less) or long-term (held more than one year). This significantly affects your tax rate.

Step 3: Enter Your Income

Enter your annual taxable income and filing status. This determines which tax bracket applies to your capital gains.

Q: Do capital losses reduce my tax bill?

Yes, capital losses can offset capital gains. If your losses exceed gains, you can deduct up to $3,000 per year against ordinary income and carry forward the rest.
