Estimate French capital gains tax on a property sale — 19% income tax + 18.6% social charges (2026).
Gains on French real estate (other than your main home, which is exempt) are taxed at a flat 19% income tax rate plus 18.6% social charges — a combined 37.6% base rate. In reality, taper relief reduces the taxable gain the longer you've owned the property (fully exempt after 22 years for income tax, 30 years for social charges) — this simplified tool applies the full rate without taper relief.
