Donate Some Shares, Sell Some

This calculator estimates the tax savings from donating some shares and selling the rest.

There is no capital gains tax on donations of publicly listed securities gifted to charities.

You can benefit from this provision by donating some of your holdings to a charity and selling the remaining holdings for your own personal use.

The tax credit from the donation can be used to offset some or all of the tax owed on the sale for personal use.
