How the Capital Gains Tax Calculator (Stocks & Equity MF) works
For listed equity shares and equity mutual funds (STT paid): gains held up to 12 months are short-term (STCG) and taxed at 20%. Gains held over 12 months are long-term (LTCG) and taxed at 12.5% on the amount above ₹1.25 lakh per financial year. 4% cess applies.
Losses, grandfathering for pre-2018 purchases and surcharge are not modelled. Consult a tax professional.
