How to use the capital gain calculator
Worked example
Capital gain: calculation example
An $80,000 gross sale price minus $3,000 selling costs and $50,000 adjusted basis gives a $27,000 estimated gain before tax.
This calculator intentionally does not estimate tax due. Holding period, asset type, depreciation recapture, jurisdiction, and individual circumstances matter.
Common question
Understand the result
Does this calculator estimate capital gains tax?
No. It estimates gain or loss only. Tax treatment depends on the asset, holding period, applicable rules, and your circumstances.
