Capital gains tax calculator
Estimate the tax on your listed-equity gains, short-term and long-term, at the latest Indian rates.
Listed equity, post-23 July 2024 rates. STCG (Sec 111A) is taxed at 20%; LTCG (Sec 112A) at 12.5% on gains above ₹1.25 lakh a year, plus 4% health & education cess. Surcharge, if applicable, is not included.
This is an estimate for a single equity holding. Intraday and F&O profits are taxed as business income at slab rates, not covered here. Always confirm with your CA.
STCG vs LTCG on Indian equity
For listed shares and equity mutual funds, holding for 12 months or less makes a gain short-term, taxed under Section 111A. After the July 2024 changes the short-term rate is 20%. Hold beyond 12 months and it becomes long-term under Section 112A, taxed at 12.5% on gains above a ₹1.25 lakh annual exemption. A 4% health and education cess applies on top.
Note that intraday and F&O profits are treated as business income, not capital gains, and taxed at your slab rate. This tool covers delivery-based equity only. TradeFolie tags each closed trade by holding period automatically, so your year-end tax picture is never a surprise.
