Capital gains tax

Estimated tax
,
2025 federal estimate. Long-term gains use the 0/15/20% brackets, stacked on top of your other taxable income; short-term gains are taxed as ordinary income. State tax is a simplified estimate at a representative rate on the gain (most states tax gains as ordinary income) and is editable via the state selector. Excludes the 3.8% net investment income tax.
