1031 Exchange Planning Estimate

Estimate gain that could be recognized from cash or other non-like-kind property in a potential 1031 real-estate exchange. This is not a determination that an exchange qualifies.

Quick answer: A 1031 exchange defers capital gains tax on investment real estate if you reinvest fully into like-kind property — calculate deferred gain versus taxable gain if cash is kept out. Enter Gross Sale Price of Relinquished Property, Adjusted Tax Basis Before Sale, Cash or Other Non-Like-Kind Value Received, and Illustrative Combined Tax Rate to personalize the estimate. It returns Potentially Deferred Gain if Exchange Qualifies, Potentially Recognized Gain From Boot, and Illustrative Tax on Recognized Boot so you can compare the impact before choosing a next step. Use it to estimate tax impact, withholding, deduction, bracket, and after-tax cash-flow tradeoffs.

Your preliminary realized gain is $500,000. If this is a qualifying exchange, up to $500,000 may remain unrecognized in this simplified estimate.

$0 is treated as potential boot here, with an illustrative $0 tax exposure. Verify property eligibility, the 45-day identification deadline, the 180-day receipt deadline, and Form 8824 reporting.

About mortgage rates

The calculator above uses a representative market rate for payment estimates — your actual rate will vary.
