Capital Gains Tax Calculator
Capital Gains Tax Calculator
Work out the tax on selling shares, property or crypto after the annual exclusion and the 2026/27 inclusion rate.
How it works: Your gain is the selling price less the base cost (purchase price plus qualifying costs). The first R50 000 of gains each year is excluded. Individuals include 40% of the rest in taxable income, where it is taxed at your marginal rate. The highest effective CGT rate is 18%.
