Capital Gain Calculator

Find capital gains tax, based on your asset type and how long you held it.

How it is calculated

Select your asset type and holding period, and the calculator applies the matching rate.

Formula

Equity STCG: 20% flat (Section 111A)

Equity LTCG: 12.5% above ₹1.25L exemption (Section 112A)

Other LTCG: 12.5% flat, no exemption (Section 112)

Frequently asked questions

Why do the rates differ so much by asset type?

Because equity and non-equity assets are taxed under different sections of the Income-tax Act, with different rates and rules. Treating them the same would give a wrong answer for one of them.

What about property bought before 23 July 2024?

This kind of property has an optional method called indexation (20% with indexation, or 12.5% without), which needs special year-by-year numbers. This calculator uses the simpler flat rate used after 2024. Talk to a tax expert to compare with indexation.
