What is LTCG Tax on Property Calculator?
Long-term capital gains (LTCG) on property arise when you sell a house or land held for more than 24 months. An LTCG property calculator estimates the tax on your property sale.
Since 2023, LTCG on property is taxed at 12.5% without indexation, or 20% with indexation — whichever is lower.

Indexation adjusts the purchase price for inflation using the Cost Inflation Index (CII), reducing the taxable gain.
