What the result means

This result estimates the gain subject to local tax and the net gain remaining after local capital gain tax.

Capital Gain = Sale Value - Purchase Cost - Selling Fees; Local Tax = Capital Gain × Local Rate

Not every locality taxes capital gains. This calculator uses only the rate and values entered.

Example calculation

If purchase cost is $25,000, sale value is $35,000, fees are $1,000, and local rate is 3%, gain is $9,000 and local tax is $270.

Tips for better results

  • Include transaction fees to avoid overstating gains.
  • Compare local tax with state and federal capital gain estimates.
  • Run sale value scenarios before selling an asset.
  • Local tax rules vary by city, county, municipality, and district.
