How to use Capital Gains Calculator
Identify a capital asset, calculate a gain, or estimate capital-gains tax in three separate modes.
Inputs and definitions
Choose Identify capital asset, Calculate capital gains, or Calculate capital-gains tax. Enter the asset facts and dates; gain mode also needs consideration and eligible costs. Tax mode accepts dated details or an independently verified gain and rate category, with residency and annual income context.
Method and formula
Identify mode reports LTCA, STCA or NOT a capital asset and keeps any deemed short-term tax treatment separate. Gain mode calculates consideration less supported costs and adjustments without tax. Tax mode estimates the supported annual tax effect. An asset outside capital-gains treatment is not automatically tax-free; unknown classifications remain for review.
Illustrative example
₹5 lakh sale consideration less ₹3 lakh eligible acquisition cost and ₹5,000 allowable transfer expenses gives ₹1.95 lakh gain before other adjustments. That arithmetic alone does not decide the tax rate.
Scope and limitations
Identify LTCA, STCA or an asset outside capital-gains treatment from the supported facts. Gain mode calculates the gain without tax; tax mode uses dated details or a verified gain and category with annual income context. Foreign assets, special acquisitions, buybacks, rollover exemptions, depreciable business assets and general loss adjustments require separate review. ROR, RNOR and NR are available for tax calculations.
These examples explain the method. The interactive result depends on the selected facts and period, and is not a filing or an eligibility confirmation.
