How this is calculated
Capital Gains Tax is charged at 33% on the profit you make when you sell an asset such as shares, crypto or an investment property. The gain is the sale price minus what you paid and allowable costs like broker fees. Everyone gets a €1,270 annual exemption that's deducted before the 33% applies. Timing matters: CGT on disposals from January to November is due by 15 December, and December disposals by 31 January. The calculator works out your taxable gain after the exemption and the CGT due.
