YOUR NEW VS OLD CAPITAL GAINS CALCULATOR


Labor’s over-hall of Australian capital gains tax system in the May 2026 budget has been one of its’ biggest talking points – it all sounds quite complicated, so we thought we would simplify things for you.

In basic terms – CGT is paid when an asset is sold but, since 1999, owners have had a CGT discount.

Under the changes, from 1 July 2027, the CGT discount will be replaced with a new cost-base indexation system. It’s important to note that your main residence – or the family home – is still exempt from CGT under the new scheme.

But how much tax will you have to pay under the new scheme compared with the old? Now you have an easy calculator to help you work it out.

Add as many or as few asset categories as you like.

Compare old vs new scheme across multiple assets

Add another property, shares, crypto or other asset to compare your total CGT liability

Each asset can have its own growth rate, inflation rate and holding period
🏠 Primary residence — CGT exempt
Your primary place of residence (main home) is completely exempt from Capital Gains Tax in Australia under the main residence exemption. No CGT applies when you sell a home that has been your main residence for the entire ownership period. Partial exemptions may apply if the property was used to produce income or if the land exceeds 2 hectares.

While you’re thinking about your potential Tax outcomes – you may also be thinking about your household expenditure.
