Cost inflation index calculator

This tool indexes the cost of acquisition using the cost inflation index and computes the long-term gain where indexation is available. It is used by sellers of property and other long-term assets. You need to enter the year and cost of purchase, the year of sale and the sale value, and the result shows the indexed cost, the gain and the tax under the rules that apply.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the year and cost of purchase, the year of sale and the sale value.
  2. Choose the year of purchase to match your situation.
  3. Read the indexed cost, the gain and the tax under the rules that apply in the result.

Indexation is allowed only in some cases; confirm whether it applies to the asset and the date of transfer.

The result is an estimate for the figures you enter. It is not a filed return, a certificate or professional advice. Rates, thresholds and section numbers change with each Finance Act, and the Income-tax Act, 2025 applies from 1 April 2026 with new section and form numbers.
