About this tool
Work out STCG and LTCG on listed equity from your holding period, with the annual exemption, cess and grandfathering.
Equity Capital Gains Tax Calculator works out the tax on a listed equity share or equity mutual fund sale. It reads your buy and sell dates to decide short term or long term, applies the annual LTCG exemption, adds 4% cess, and handles grandfathering for holdings bought before 1 February 2018. Rates and the exemption limit are editable so the tool stays correct as rules change.

For pre-Feb-2018 buys the cost is taken as the higher of actual cost and the lower of 31 Jan 2018 FMV and sale price.
For transfers on or after 23 July 2024, short-term gains under section 111A are taxed at 20% and long-term gains under section 112A at 12.5% on the amount above the annual exemption, plus 4% cess. Both rates are editable in the tool.
Up to ₹1,25,000 of section 112A long-term gains in a financial year is exempt. The exemption is per taxpayer per year across all equity holdings, not per trade — which is why the tool asks how much you have already used.
Listed equity shares and equity-oriented mutual funds become long term once held for more than 12 months from the date of acquisition. Selling at 12 months or earlier is short term.
No tax is payable. A short-term capital loss can be set off against both short-term and long-term capital gains, a long-term loss only against long-term gains, and unabsorbed losses can be carried forward for up to eight assessment years if you file your return by the due date. This tool is informational — confirm your position with a tax professional.
