Sold an Asset?
Know Your Tax.

Calculate your capital gains tax on stocks, crypto, real estate, or any asset — including the home sale exclusion and NIIT.

Step 1 of 3

Step 1: Your Filing Info

Enter your filing status and other income. This determines your capital gains tax rate and whether the Net Investment Income Tax applies.

Filing Status

Other taxable income (W-2 wages, etc. — excluding this sale) ?Your total income from all other sources. This determines which capital gains bracket your gain falls into.

Step 2: The Sale

Details of the asset you sold

Enter the sale and purchase details. We'll calculate your gain or loss and the applicable tax.

What type of asset?

Stock / ETF

Crypto

Primary Home

Other Asset

Sale price (total proceeds)

Cost basis (original purchase price + improvements) ?For stocks: purchase price + commissions. For real estate: purchase price + closing costs + improvements. Check your 1099-B or records.

Selling expenses (commissions, agent fees, closing costs)

How long did you hold the asset?

Over 1 year (long-term)

1 year or less (short-term)

Capital losses from other sales this year ?Net losses from other asset sales. Losses offset gains dollar-for-dollar. Up to $3,000 of excess losses can offset ordinary income.

Step 3: Home Sale Exclusion

Section 121 — up to $250K/$500K tax-free

If you sold your primary residence, you may exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 MFJ) of gain from taxes.
