Capital Gains Tax Calculator
Estimate the tax on a capital gain for 2026. Only 50% of a capital gain is taxable (the proposed two-thirds inclusion rate was cancelled), and that taxable portion is added to your other income and taxed at your marginal rate. Enter your proceeds, adjusted cost base and other income, and choose Alberta or British Columbia.
Estimate only for the 2026 tax year. Not tax, accounting or financial advice. Talk to RN Canada about your situation.
