Summary
Enter your investment gain and asset type to calculate Austrian KESt (Kapitalertragsteuer) at the flat 27.5% or 25% rate.
How it works
- Select the asset type — stocks, funds, crypto, or bank interest — to determine the correct KESt rate.
- Enter the gross gain (proceeds minus acquisition cost) in euros.
- Optionally enter eligible capital losses to offset against the gain; capital losses cannot offset bank deposit interest.
- The calculator applies the flat KESt rate (27.5% or 25%) to the net taxable gain.
- Your KESt liability, effective rate on the gross gain, and net profit after tax are displayed.
Use cases
- Estimate KESt before selling Austrian or foreign shares.
- Calculate the tax on mutual fund or ETF distributions and redemptions.
- Model after-tax profit from cryptocurrency disposals.
- Compare net returns between bank deposits (25% KESt) and equity investments (27.5% KESt).
- Plan asset sales to offset gains with losses within the same tax year.
- Understand how loss offsets reduce the taxable gain and the resulting KESt.
- Prepare year-end tax statements for unlisted assets where KESt was not withheld at source.
