Indexed Cost of Acquisition Calculator
Calculate indexed cost of acquisition for capital gains using CII.
What is Indexed Cost of Acquisition Calculator?
Indexed cost of acquisition adjusts your asset's purchase price for inflation using the Cost Inflation Index (CII), reducing your long-term capital gains tax. An indexed cost calculator computes this adjusted cost.
Indexation is available for long-term capital assets like property, gold, and debt funds (under the old rules), significantly lowering your tax burden.
How does the Indexed Cost of Acquisition Calculator work?
The Cost Inflation Index is notified by the government each year. For example, if you bought property in 2010 and sold in 2024, the CII ratio adjusts your purchase price upward.
The indexed cost is then subtracted from the sale price to compute the taxable long-term capital gain.
