Example: If you’re single you’ll pay zero capital gains tax if your total taxable income is no more than $40,000. You’ll pay 15 percent on capital gains if your taxable income is $40,001 to $441,450. If your taxable income is above that income level, the rate is 20 percent. In addition, capital gains may be subject to the net investment income tax (NIIT) of 3.8 percent if income is above certain amounts.
