About Us
Why we built this
If you've ever tried to calculate how much tax you owe after a successful year in the stock market, you've probably realized how incredibly confusing the US tax system can be.
Most basic capital gains calculators are dangerously simple. Because the IRS uses a "tax-stacking" mechanism, your investment profits sit directly on top of your standard W-2 job salary. If a calculator doesn't ask for your regular employment salary, it will determine your marginal brackets incorrectly, leaving you with an unexpected debt to the IRS in April.
Furthermore, navigating the differences between short-term capital gains (taxed at ordinary income rates) and long-term capital gains (taxed at preferential lower rates) requires exact calculation, especially when factoring in your filing status (Single vs. Married Filing Jointly).
Finally, many platforms leave out advanced rules like the Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) which adds a 3.8% tax on high earners, or the unique state-level treatments of capital gains. We built this tool to dynamically map these complex layers instantly.
