*Any amount you enter as a short-term capital gain is taxed as normal income. Any amount you enter as a long-term capital gain or dividend is taxed as follows:

  • This calculator assumes that all of your long-term capital gains and qualified dividends are taxed at either 0% or 15%.
  • The tax is 0% for the portion of your gain that would have been taxed at 15% or lower tax if it were a short-term gain.

  • The tax is 15% for any of your capital gain that would have been taxed at a rate higher than 15% if it were considered a short term gain.

  • This calculator assumes that none of your long-term capital gains come from collectibles, section 1202 gains or unrecaptured 1250 gains. These types of capital gains are taxed at 28%, 28% and 25% respectively (unless your ordinary income tax bracket is a lower rate).

For more information on capital gains tax rates and how they are applied, you may wish to read IRS Publication 17: Your Federal Income Taxes.
