How this calculator works

Step 1 calculates your capital gain using cost basis and sale proceeds. If you provide dates, the tool classifies the holding period for reference.

Step 2 adds the gain to your other South Carolina taxable income before applying the bracket schedule.

Step 3 shows the South Carolina tax impact. The marginal rate reflects the bracket your total income lands in after the gain.
