FAQ

About this calculator

What are the 2024 long-term capital gains rates?

0%, 15%, or 20% depending on your taxable income and filing status. Most filers fall in the 15% band.

Is short-term gain taxed as ordinary income?

Yes. Assets held one year or less are taxed at your ordinary income tax brackets, which are usually higher than LTCG rates.

What about Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT)?

High earners may owe an additional 3.8% NIIT. This calculator does not include NIIT — factor it in separately if your modified AGI exceeds the threshold for your status.
