What is Capital Gains Tax?
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is the tax you pay on the profit when you sell an asset like shares, property, or cryptocurrency. Australia offers a 50% CGT discount for individuals who hold assets for more than 12 months.
How this calculator works
Enter your purchase price, sale price, and any selling costs (agent fees, legal costs). The calculator computes the capital gain, applies the 50% CGT discount if you held the asset for 12+ months, and calculates the tax at your marginal rate. If you made a loss, it shows the capital loss amount which can be used to offset future capital gains. The marginal rate selector lets you choose your tax bracket (16%, 30%, 37%, or 45%) for an accurate result.
