Enter your capital gain, how long you held the asset, and your other taxable income to estimate the CGT payable.

Australia Capital Gains Tax Calculator

Estimate CGT on an asset, including the 50% discount for assets held over 12 months.

This is an estimate for general informational purposes only, not tax advice. It assumes the asset is held by an individual (not a company or trust, which have different discount rules) and that the gain, once added to your other income, does not itself change which marginal bracket applies — enter the marginal rate that will actually apply to this gain.

Australia has no separate capital gains tax rate — a capital gain is added to your assessable income and taxed at your marginal rate. Individuals get a 50% discount on gains from assets held for more than 12 months before applying that marginal rate.

Example

  • With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Taxable Gain (after any discount) ≈ AUD 20,000.00; Estimated CGT Payable ≈ AUD 6,900.00.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is the CGT discount?

Individuals and trusts get a 50% discount on capital gains from assets held for more than 12 months before the gain is added to taxable income; companies get no discount.

Is there a separate CGT rate in Australia?

No — capital gains are simply added to your other assessable income for the year and taxed at your normal marginal income tax rate, after any eligible discount is applied.
