Virginia capital gains tax estimator

Estimate Virginia tax impact from a single sale.

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 Virginia taxable income and applies the progressive brackets to estimate the incremental tax tied to the sale.

Step 3 shows the Virginia tax impact. The marginal rate depends on the bracket applied to total taxable income.

Virginia uses progressive brackets for capital gains and other income, so the same rates apply.

Losses are displayed for context. Check Virginia’s rules for how losses offset gains.

Part-year and nonresident filers should prorate Virginia-source income using the allocation percent on their return.

This tool estimates Virginia tax impact only and is not legal or tax advice.
