Capital gains tax calculator
Estimate short-term or long-term capital gains tax on listed equity, property or other assets.
Your estimate
Estimates only, based on the rules shown here as of 28 September 2026 for tax year 2026-27 (assessment year 2027-28). Rules change, so please verify current requirements or ask a professional before acting.
Rates used
Listed equity: short-term gains (held up to 12 months) at 20%. Long-term gains at 12.5% above an annual exemption of ₹1.25 lakh. Property and other assets: long-term after 24 months, at 12.5% without indexation. Short-term gains are added to income and taxed at your slab rate.
What it does not cover
It does not model the option some resident sellers have to use indexation on land or buildings bought before 23 July 2024, exemptions such as reinvestment in a house or bonds, or surcharge. It treats each sale on its own and ignores losses set off against other gains.
Questions
Does the tool apply to NRIs?

Are rates fixed?
No. Rates and holding periods can change. The rules used are shown on this page with a date.
