Capital Gains Tax Calculator
Selling investments can trigger capital gains taxes, but the rate depends on how long you've held the asset. Short-term gains (held less than 12 months) are taxed at ordinary income rates, while long-term gains (held 12+ months) enjoy preferential rates of 0%, 15%, or 20%. Use this calculator to estimate your tax liability and plan your investment strategy accordingly.
