About Property CGT Calculator UK

Property CGT Calculator UK helps you work through the main numbers for this topic quickly with a simple input flow and an instant result.

Use the calculator result as a practical starting point, then review the explanation and assumptions on the page if you want more context.

Residential property CGT method

The gain is proceeds less acquisition, eligible capital-improvement and selling costs, and any reliefs or losses you enter. With the full GBP 3,000 annual exemption available, chargeable gain is taxed at 18% up to the unused GBP 37,700 basic-rate band and at 24% above it. On a GBP 142,000 gain before exemption, with GBP 20,000 taxable income and no reliefs, estimated CGT is GBP 32,298.

Use your share of each figure if the property is jointly owned. Private Residence Relief, Lettings Relief, allowable losses and the correct acquisition value must be worked out separately. Check whether a taxable UK disposal must be reported and paid within 60 days.
