2026 federal estimate
Assumes realized short-term equity-option gains, no other income, eligibility for the base standard deduction, and no dependent status. Includes progressive federal income tax and the 3.8% net investment income tax where applicable.
Assumptions & sources
State calculations use a simplified top-rate allowance on the positive gain, not a progressive state return. Excludes local taxes, credits, AMT, prior losses, fees, and age or blindness adjustments. Married filing separately assumes your spouse does not itemize. Section 1256 contracts (including many broad-based index options), long-term options, and employee stock options need different treatment.
