Capital Gain Calculator with Indexation

Calculate Indexation Benefit

Capital Asset sold between April 1st 2024 & March 31st 2025

Our brand‑new Capital Gains Calculator is live! Punch in three numbers—purchase price, purchase date and the sale assessment year—and watch your taxable gain shrink in seconds. No Excel gymnastics, no outdated CII tables

Key Improvements for Capital Gains Calculator

1. Accurate Indexation Calculation

The calculator now correctly computes the indexed cost of acquisition. From your example, I can see that:

  • When purchase price is 100 rupees (on 03/31/2024)
  • With assessment year 2025-26

2. Proper Capital Gain/Loss Calculation (Capital Gains Calculator)

When the sale value is 120, the calculator now correctly shows:

  • Capital Gain with indexation: Rs. 16 (120 – 104)
  • Capital Gain without indexation: Rs. 20 (120 – 100)

3. Tax Calculation Section

Added a comprehensive tax calculation section showing:

  • CG Tax With Indexation
  • CG Tax Without Indexation
  • CG Tax Relief
  • Effective CG Tax rate (2.5% for FY 2024-25/AY 2025-26)

4. Conditional Logic for Asset Sale Date

Implemented the date-based logic:

  • For assets sold before Jul 23rd 2024: Shows standard calculation
  • For assets sold after Jul 23rd 2024: Shows additional “CONSIDER” section with note about indexation rules

5. Property-specific Tax Relief

Added information about CG relief applicable for property sales (Land/Building/Long Term)

6. Advisory Notes for Capital Gains Calculator

Included relevant notes about:

  • Section 54F reference
  • Property and capital gains relief information for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26) onwards

Technical Implementation Details

1. Cost Inflation Index (CII)

  • Implemented an accurate CII database for all assessment years

2. Calculation Formulas:

  • Indexed Cost = (Purchase Price × CII of Sale Year) ÷ CII of Purchase Year
  • Capital Gain with Indexation = Sale Value – Indexed Cost
  • Capital Gain without Indexation = Sale Value – Purchase Price

3. Dynamic Date Logic:

  • Calculator checks if sale date is before or after July 23rd, 2024
  • Displays appropriate sections based on the date comparison

4. Tax Rate Calculation:

  • Implements the 2.5% effective CG tax rate for FY 2024-25 onwards
  • Calculates relief based on the difference between indexed and non-indexed tax

Why We Built Capital Gains Calculator

Every March, inboxes explode with frantic questions:

  • “How do I apply the Cost Inflation Index for a flat bought in 2004?”
  • “Do I still get indexation on gold ETFs?”
  • “Where can I find the latest CII number? Google shows ten different charts!”

Sound familiar? We’ve wrestled with the same headaches—so we coded a solution that’s:

  1. Always current: The CII database updates the instant CBDT releases a new notification.
  2. Multi‑asset ready: Works for real estate, gold, debt funds, bonds and inherited property.
  3. Audit‑proof: Generates a printer‑friendly PDF summary with date‑stamped calculations—exactly what income‑tax officers want to see.
