Capital Gains Tax Estimator

This calculator helps you estimate the profit you’ll make when selling an investment — and how much of that profit you’ll actually keep after taxes. Whether you're cashing out stocks, crypto, or real estate, understanding your capital gains tax liability can make a big difference in when and how you sell.

By entering your purchase and sale price, number of shares or units, holding period (short- vs. long-term), and estimated tax rate, this tool gives you a clear breakdown of your gross gain, tax owed, and net gain after tax.
