Capital Gains Calculator

Holding period, indexed or actual gain and indicative tax, by asset class.

Rates pending verification

The holding periods, rates, exemptions and indexation rules used by this calculator are held in content/tax-rates.json and have not yet been verified by the firm against the current legislation. Treat every result as illustrative only until that review is complete.

Holding period, rate and any exemption all follow from this.
Date of purchase
Date of sale
Cost of acquisition
Sale consideration
Capital improvements, not repairs.
Brokerage, legal costs and similar.
The annual exemption on listed equity applies once across all such assets, not per transaction.

Results update as you type. Nothing you enter leaves your browser — there is no server involved in these calculations.

This is the most rule-sensitive tool here

Capital gains rules were substantially amended with effect from 2024-07-23. Holding periods, rates and the availability of indexation all changed, and transitional treatment applies to some assets acquired before that date.

This tool computes the gain and applies the rate configured for the asset type. It does not apply exemptions on reinvestment, set-off of losses, treatment of inherited or gifted assets, or the position of a non-resident. The indexation comparison is disabled because the cost inflation index has not been populated in content/tax-rates.json — the tool declines to guess.

Indicative only

These calculators produce indicative results based only on the figures you enter and the assumptions stated on each page. They are not professional advice and must not be relied on for filing, planning or any other purpose. Tax law changes frequently. Please speak to us about your specific circumstances.

Questions

About this calculator

Holding periods differ by asset class. Listed securities generally qualify as long-term after twelve months, while most other assets require twenty-four. Some assets are treated as short-term regardless of holding period.

No. Reliefs available on reinvesting in a residential property or specified bonds are not modelled here, and they carry conditions and time limits. Take advice before relying on them.
