• 1

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

• 2

  Treat the computed Pound Sterling amount as the base figure for United Kingdom: any additional local fees, deductions, or rounding rules that apply to your situation must be added separately, so the number you rely on stays honest and complete.

• 3

  Keep the capital gains tax amount and rate for United Kingdom on one period and one basis — monthly Pound Sterling figures with an annual rate, or gross with net, give a number that is arithmetically right but misleading in practice.

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

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