Your state isn’t modelled precisely yet. State tax varies a lot — this uses a rough placeholder rate, so the real figure could differ. A specialist in your state confirms it.
Informational purposes only — estimates for discussion, not tax, legal, or financial advice. No professional-client relationship is created. Consult a qualified CPA about your situation.

What this estimate assumes
- Depreciation recapture uses the 25% cap; your effective rate can be lower.
- That 25% cap only covers depreciation on the building itself. If a cost segregation study or bonus depreciation accelerated part of your basis, that slice comes back at your ordinary income rate — higher than 25%, and shown separately rather than included in the range.
- Capital gains shown as a 15–20% band rather than computed from your total income; a 0% band exists at lower incomes.
- State tax applied as one flat rate to the whole gain; “Other state” is a rough placeholder.
