Important disclaimer — please read

This calculator provides general estimates only and is not tax advice. Capital gains tax is complex and depends on your individual circumstances — residency status, account type, offsetting losses from prior years, government concessions, state/territory taxes, surcharges, and changes to legislation.

Tax rates used are indicative and may not reflect the most recent changes. Always verify current rates with the official government source for your country and consult a registered tax agent, chartered accountant, or tax adviser before making decisions based on this calculator.
