North Dakota capital gains tax overview

North Dakota capital gains tax planning starts with the federal rules, then layers on North Dakota's own treatment (40% deduction on eligible long-term capital gains.). This calculator estimates both so you can see a combined effective rate before you sell stocks, crypto, real estate, or other capital assets.

Federally, short-term gains (held one year or less) are taxed as ordinary income, while long-term gains generally use 0%, 15%, or 20% preferential rates for tax years 2025 and 2026. High earners may also owe the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax when MAGI exceeds the IRS threshold for their filing status.

North Dakota uses a special capital gains rule: 40% deduction on eligible long-term capital gains. Our engine encodes that rule so your estimate reflects North Dakota-specific treatment rather than a generic flat percentage.

North Dakota figures in this model are drawn from the official source we cite for the state: https://www.tax.nd.gov/. Confirm the current-year statute or agency page before you file — rates and special rules can change.
