The Irish Tax Hub Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Calculators
Summary
Irish Tax Hub offers Ireland’s most accurate CGT calculators to simplify share, property, and option tax planning.
In Ireland, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is dealt with at a 33% rate, and each individual benefits from a €1,270 annual exemption. However, CGT calculations aren’t as simple as applying rates - there’s the added complexity of allowable expenses, reliefs, multiple disposals, property rules, and recent legislation impacting employee share options.
That’s why Irish Tax Hub’s CGT calculators - the Share Sale, Employee Share Option, and General Property/Asset tools - offer instant, precise calculations aligned with Irish tax law. They let you model different scenarios, account for expenses, and see how much CGT you owe, without guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CGT Calculators Ireland. If you have a question that's not answered here, please email us at info@irishtaxhub.ie
To calculate CGT: take the sale price (or market value for gifts), subtract the purchase price and allowable expenses (e.g., legal fees, enhancement costs), deduct any reliefs or exemptions, then apply the CGT rate. The standard rate is 33%. Each individual also has an annual personal exemption of €1,270 which reduces the taxable gain.
The standard CGT rate in Ireland is 33% for most disposals. Different rates apply in specific circumstances — for example, a 38% rate applies to certain foreign life assurance policies and offshore funds (reduced from 41% in January 2026), and a 15% rate applies to venture capital fund carried interest. For most individuals selling property, shares, or other assets, the 33% rate applies.
The first €1,270 of chargeable gains in a tax year are exempt from CGT. This annual personal exemption applies per individual — if you are married or in a civil partnership, each spouse has their own €1,270 exemption, but it cannot be transferred between you.
Ireland does not have a separate long-term and short-term CGT rate based on how long you hold an asset. The 33% rate applies regardless of the holding period. However, the CGT payment deadlines depend on when you make the gain: disposals between 1 January and 30 November must be paid by 15 December of that year, and disposals in December must be paid by 31 January of the following year.
