About This Capital Gains Tax Calculator

This capital gains tax (CGT) calculator estimates the tax on a profit from selling an asset such as shares or an investment property in Australia. Your capital gain is added to your income and taxed at your marginal rate, with a 50% discount if you held the asset for more than 12 months.

This is general information only and not tax advice. CGT has many rules and exemptions — including the main residence exemption — so check your situation with a registered tax agent or the ATO.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is capital gains tax?+
CGT is the tax on the profit when you sell an asset for more than it cost. In Australia it's part of your income tax, not a separate tax.
What is the 50% CGT discount?+
If you're an individual and held the asset for more than 12 months, only half the capital gain is taxed.
Do I pay CGT on my home?+
Usually no. Your main residence is generally exempt from CGT, though conditions apply.
