Worked example
A GBP 2,500 gain covered by a GBP 3,000 annual exemption gives no estimated CGT in this scenario. Change the inputs to model a taxable gain.
Gold calculator
CGT saving calculator
Compare a taxable gold gain with a UK legal tender coin scenario where CGT may not apply.
Estimated result
Educational estimate only. This is not financial, investment, tax, legal, or personal advice.
How the calculation works
- Subtract purchase price from sale price to estimate gain.
- Subtract the exemption amount entered for the scenario.
- Apply the CGT rate to the remaining taxable gain.
- The comparison assumes the legal tender coin scenario is outside CGT, which must be verified against current rules.
