How this capital gains tax Spain calculator works
This calculator estimates your capital gains tax in Spain from a property sale using a simplified method:
- Net sale value = Sale price − Selling costs
- Total acquisition value = Purchase price + Acquisition costs + Capital improvements
- Raw gain = Net sale value − Total acquisition value
- Taxable gain = Raw gain − Losses offset (not below zero)
Once taxable gain is calculated, tax is applied according to your selected residency status.
Spain capital gains tax rates (estimation framework)
For Spanish tax residents
Residents are generally taxed on savings income using progressive bands. This calculator uses the commonly referenced structure:
| Taxable gain band | Rate |
|---|---|
| €0 to €6,000 | 19% |
| €6,000 to €50,000 | 21% |
| €50,000 to €200,000 | 23% |
| €200,000 to €300,000 | 27% |
| Over €300,000 | 28% |
For non-residents
- EU/EEA non-residents: commonly 19% on taxable gain.
- Non-EU/EEA non-residents: commonly 24% on taxable gain.
In many Spanish property sales involving non-residents, a 3% retention on gross sale price is withheld by the buyer and paid to the tax authority. This tool estimates that retention and compares it with final estimated liability.
Costs you can usually include
In a typical Spanish property gain computation, taxpayers may include eligible costs such as:
- Purchase taxes (ITP/VAT/AJD where applicable)
- Notary and land registry fees
- Legal and agency fees tied to acquisition or sale
- Major capital improvements (not routine maintenance)
- Direct costs of disposal at sale
Keep invoices and supporting documents. Tax authorities can request evidence.
Example calculation
Suppose you bought at €200,000, paid €20,000 acquisition costs, spent €15,000 on improvements, and sold at €320,000 with €15,000 selling costs:
- Net sale value = €320,000 − €15,000 = €305,000
- Total acquisition value = €200,000 + €20,000 + €15,000 = €235,000
- Raw gain = €305,000 − €235,000 = €70,000
If resident, your tax is then calculated progressively over the resident bands shown above.
What this calculator does not include
- Main-home reinvestment relief and special exemptions
- Age-related exemptions and specific personal circumstances
- Double tax treaty interactions
- Local municipal tax (plusvalía municipal) calculation
