About this tool
Enter your other taxable income, the capital gain and whether you held the asset for more than 12 months. The tool applies the 50 percent discount for residents, adds the gain to your income and compares the tax with and without it, including the Medicare levy. Rates and rules change each year, so use the result as a guide and check the official source.
Frequently asked questions
Who gets the 50 percent discount?
Australian residents who held the asset for more than 12 months, for individuals and trusts.
Is the main home taxed?
