Calculation Breakdown
DETAILS
This section explains what the calculator does, what goes into the result, and how to interpret the output so you can apply it confidently.
This calculator turns a few key inputs into a clear output you can act on — a number that traders and investors commonly use for planning and decision-making.
Use it to compare scenarios quickly and to understand the trade-offs behind the final result.
Treat the output as a planning number. Small changes in inputs (time, rate, price, quantity, risk, or cashflows) can change the outcome meaningfully — so keep assumptions realistic.
If the tool returns multiple outputs, focus on the ones that drive decisions (e.g., net result, breakeven, or risk-adjusted value), not just the biggest number.
Listed equity: Buy 2017 @ ₹100, FMV Jan 31 2018 ₹120, Sell 2025 @ ₹200, Qty 1000
Graphical view
Because the gain is below ₹1.25L, the exemption wipes out the taxable LTCG in this example.
Debt MF: Buy 2022 @ ₹100, Sell 2025 @ ₹140, Qty 2000

FAQ
For equity/equity MF purchased before Jan 31, 2018, the cost of acquisition is the higher of (a) original purchase price or (b) FMV on Jan 31, 2018 — but cannot exceed the actual sale price. This prevents tax on pre-LTCG era gains.
From FY 2024-25 (Budget 2024), the LTCG exemption on equity and equity MF is ₹1.25 lakh per year, up from the earlier ₹1 lakh. Gains above this are taxed at 12.5% without indexation.
From April 2023, debt mutual funds no longer qualify for LTCG benefits. All gains are taxed at income slab rates. LTCG at 20% with indexation applies only for units purchased before April 1, 2023.
For listed stocks, FMV is the highest price traded on NSE/BSE on January 31, 2018. For mutual funds, it is the NAV on that date. Historical NAVs are available on AMFI website.
