Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between short-term and long-term gains?
Short-term gains are from assets held less than 1 year, taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. Long-term gains are from assets held 1+ years, taxed at preferential rates (often 0%, 15%, or 20% in the US).
Does this handle tax loss harvesting?
Yes—the calculator nets gains and losses. If losses exceed gains, you can potentially deduct up to $3,000/year against ordinary income (US rules), with excess carried forward.
Is this tax advice?
No, this is an educational calculator. Tax laws vary by jurisdiction and change frequently. Always consult a qualified tax professional for your specific situation.
