STCG / LTCG tax on listed shares and equity funds.
How the Capital Gains Tax Calculator works
For listed equity shares and equity mutual funds, gains on holdings up to 12 months are short-term (STCG, 20%) and above 12 months are long-term (LTCG, 12.5% on gains above ₹1.25 lakh a year). A 4% health & education cess applies on the tax.
Capital Gains Tax Calculator formula
STCG tax = Gain × 20% · LTCG tax = (Gain − Exemption) × 12.5% · plus 4% cess
