Terms and Conditions

Last updated 23 September 2026

In short

This is a free tool that gives estimates only. It is not financial or tax advice, and it may contain mistakes. You are responsible for your own tax return, so please check your figures with HMRC or a qualified adviser before relying on them.

About these terms

These terms apply when you use ukcapitalgains.com ("the site", "we", "us"). By using the site you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What the site does

The site provides a free calculator and guides that estimate UK Capital Gains Tax on sales of shares, ETFs and funds. It is designed for individuals and does not cover every situation. For example, it does not cover property, crypto, business assets, reliefs, or company events such as share splits and takeovers.

Not financial or tax advice

  • Nothing on the site is financial, investment, tax or legal advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
  • The results are estimates based on the information you enter and our understanding of the rules. They may be wrong or out of date, and tax rules change.
  • You are responsible for your own tax affairs, including what you report to HMRC. Please check your figures with HMRC or a qualified adviser before you rely on them.
