How to use this calculator

Enter gross capital gain, deduction amount, capital gain tax rate, and cost basis. The calculator estimates taxable gain, tax, net gain, after-tax ROI, and gain retention.

What the result means

The main result is net gain after deduction and tax. Gain retention shows how much of the original gain remains after tax.

Net Gain = (Capital Gain − Deduction) − ((Capital Gain − Deduction) × Tax Rate)

Capital gain tax rules can include holding periods, exemptions, loss offsets, and jurisdiction-specific rates.

Example calculation

With a $20,000 gain, $3,000 deduction, and 15% tax, taxable gain is $17,000 and net gain is $14,450.

Tips for better results

  • Enter only realized gain, not sale price.
  • Use cost basis to estimate after-tax ROI.
  • Include loss offsets as deduction only when appropriate.

FAQ

What does after deduction mean?

After deduction means the original amount has been reduced by eligible deductions before calculating the capital gain result.

Can deductions be larger than the original amount?

For planning, the calculator normally limits taxable or remaining amounts at zero where negative results would not be practical.

Is this calculator tax advice?

No. It is a simplified estimate for planning. Actual rules depend on your tax system, records, and filing situation.

Why use an effective rate?

An effective rate shows the result as a percentage of the original amount, making different scenarios easier to compare.

How should I interpret the result?

Use the main result for a quick estimate and review the supporting stats to understand savings, burden, or remaining exposure.
