How Capital Gains are Taxed

The tax rate on your investment gains depends on how long you held the asset before selling it.

Short-Term vs. Long-Term

  • Short-Term Capital Gains: Assets held for one year or less. These are taxed as ordinary income at your regular tax bracket (up to 37%).
  • Long-Term Capital Gains: Assets held for more than one year. These benefit from lower tax rates of 0%, 15%, or 20%, depending on your income.

Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT)

High earners may also be subject to an additional 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax if their modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholds ($200,000 for singles, $250,000 for married couples).
