Working out capital gains tax isn't just one number, it depends on how long you've held the asset, what you paid for it, what it cost to sell, and your total taxable income for the year. Your potential capital gain generally starts with four things:
What you received when you sold the asset.
What you paid, plus eligible costs associated with buying, owning and selling it.
If you're eligible and have held the asset for more than 12 months, you may get a 50% discount.
The discounted capital gain is generally added to your taxable income and taxed at your marginal rate.
Our calculator brings these factors together to give you an estimated CGT figure in minutes.
