Capital Gains Calculator

If the investor does not move forward with an exchange, then the transfer of property is a sale subject to taxation.

An investor that holds property longer than 1 year will be taxed at the favorable capital gains tax rate. Otherwise, the sales gain is taxed at the ordinary income rate.
