• 1

  United States publishes capital gains figures in US Dollar, revised periodically — enter the rate currently in force for your case in United States rather than an older stored figure so the result matches the official calculation.

• 2

  Currency is part of the math: this United States capital gains computes in US Dollar, so convert a foreign source figure first — applying a local rate to a foreign amount silently inflates or deflates the result.

• 3

• Gross and net are different numbers: a US Dollar salary quoted for United States is normally gross, and the Capital Gains result only matches your payslip after United States deductions and contributions are subtracted. Confirm which side each input represents.

• A percentage entered as a whole number where a decimal is expected (15 versus 0.15) is off by ×100 — the most common single error in rate fields. Check which form the United States Capital Gains field expects before you type.
