›How this is calculated
1. Capital gain: sale price minus purchase price, minus allowable improvement and selling costs.
2. Losses: any losses carried forward from previous disposals are deducted from the gain before the exemption is applied.
3. Annual exemption: the first €1,270 of gains per person, per year, is exempt from CGT. It cannot be transferred to a spouse or carried forward if unused.
4. CGT due: the remaining taxable gain is charged at the standard rate of 33%. A reduced 10% rate applies under Revised Entrepreneur Relief for qualifying business disposals up to a €1,500,000 lifetime limit — not included in this calculator, as it depends on qualifying conditions this calculator can't verify.
