How to use this calculator
This calculator helps investors estimate their potential tax savings through capital gains harvesting. Enter the original investment amount, the current value of the investment, and the tax rate you expect to pay.
Methodology
The engine subtracts the purchase amount from the current value to reveal the capital gain, then multiplies that gain by the expected tax rate to estimate the tax owed. All rounding follows a consistent two-decimal strategy so estimates stay deterministic.
