How to use this calculator
- Enter the purchase cost, the sale value, the expenses on transfer and the dates.
- Choose the dates of purchase and sale to match your situation.
- Read the short-term gain and the tax at the applicable rate in the result.
Frequent trading can be treated as business income instead; check how your activity is classified.
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.
