Estimated Capital Gains Tax
Capital gains are the profit from selling an asset for more than you paid.
Capital Gain = Sale Price - Purchase Price
Tax rates depend on holding period:
Short-term (held ≤ 1 year): Taxed as ordinary income (10%–37%)
Long-term (held > 1 year):
| Taxable Income (Single) | Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to $47,025 | 0% |
| $47,026 – $518,900 | 15% |
| Over $518,900 | 20% |
Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT): An additional 3.8% may apply if income exceeds $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married).
