How is this calculator different from the federal calculator?

This calculator automatically adds Florida's 0% state capital gains tax on top of the 15% federal rate, giving you a more accurate after-tax projection.

What return rate should I expect?

Historical S&P 500 returns average 10% annually (7% after inflation). Use 7% for conservative estimates.

When do I pay capital gains tax?

You only pay when you sell. Long-term rates (shown here) apply to investments held over 1 year. Short-term gains are taxed as ordinary income.
