FAQ
What counts as long-term?
For shares and equity funds, holdings of 12 months or more. For property, 24 months or more. Anything shorter is short-term.
How is equity tax calculated?
Short-term gains are taxed at 15%. Long-term gains above the ₹1,00,000 annual exemption are taxed at 10%.
Why are there two rates for property?
Long-term property gains are taxed at 12.5% without indexation, or 20% on gains after indexation. The calculator picks whichever is lower, indexation usually wins on older properties.
Is this a final tax figure?
No. It is an estimate. Surcharge, cess and your overall income can change the final liability. Use the income tax portal for filing.
