• 1

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

• 2

  For large Euro sums, compare the capital gains tax output for France against a rough mental estimate first; if the two are far apart, re-check the rate and the amount before trusting either number for a decision or a commitment.

• 3

  A capital gains tax result for France is only as current as the rate you typed in: when the figure matters, re-run it with a freshly confirmed Euro rate instead of one saved last month.

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

• Income tax is progressive: applying France's top marginal band to a whole Euro salary overstates the bill, because only the slice above each threshold pays that band. Split the income into brackets instead of one flat multiplication.
