Canada Capital Gains Tax Calculator
Estimate the tax owed on a capital gain using Canada’s 50% inclusion rate.
In Canada, only 50% of a capital gain is included in your taxable income (the government cancelled a proposed increase to a two-thirds inclusion rate for gains above $250,000). That taxable portion is then taxed at your marginal federal-plus-provincial tax rate.
Example
- With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Taxable Portion (50% Inclusion) ≈ CAD 25,000.00; Estimated Tax Owed ≈ CAD 8,250.00.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the capital gains inclusion rate still 50%?
Yes — the federal government cancelled its proposed increase to a 66.7% inclusion rate on gains above $250,000, so the 50% inclusion rate that has applied since 2000 remains in effect.
How do I find my marginal tax rate?
Your marginal rate is your combined federal and provincial tax rate on your next dollar of income — check your latest Notice of Assessment or a provincial tax bracket table for your income level and province.
