Free 1031 Exchange Calculators
Two numbers drive every 1031 exchange decision: how much tax you could defer, and how much time you have. Get either one wrong and it can cost you real money.
These free 1031 exchange calculators give you both answers in minutes. The Capital Gains Tax Calculator estimates what you might owe if you sell your investment property outright, which is also the amount a 1031 exchange may let you defer. The Key Dates Calculator takes your closing date and maps your 45-day identification deadline and 180-day exchange deadline, the two dates the IRS will not extend.
Use them to plan before you list, before you sign, and before you close. The numbers are estimates, not advice, so confirm your specific situation with your tax advisor.
Capital Gains Tax Calculator
Selling an investment property can trigger federal capital gains tax, depreciation recapture, and in some states, state taxes too. Many sellers are surprised by how much these add up to. This calculator estimates your potential tax bill based on your purchase price, improvements, depreciation, and sale price, so you can see what a 1031 exchange may help you defer.
What Can I Save?
1031 Exchange Key Dates Calculator
A 1031 exchange runs on two strict clocks. From the day your sale closes, you have 45 days to identify replacement property in writing and 180 days to close on it. Both clocks run at the same time, and the IRS does not grant extensions for weekends, holidays, or deals that fall through. Enter your closing date below to see your exact deadlines.
