Disclaimer: This calculator is for estimation purposes only. Capital gains tax is complex and depends on your individual circumstances. The calculation assumes the standard 50% CGT discount for assets held over 12 months and does not account for CGT concessions, losses, or timing of gains across tax years. Consult a licensed tax accountant or the ATO for advice on your specific situation.

Additional Considerations: You must report all CGT in your tax return. Losses from other assets can offset gains. The financial year runs July 1 to June 30.
