Understanding capital gains tax
Capital gains tax applies when you sell an asset for more than you paid. The gain is typically taxed at a rate that may differ from ordinary income. Many countries offer lower rates for long-term holdings. This calculator uses a flat rate for simplicity—real tax may depend on brackets, exemptions, and holding period.
