- Short-Term Capital Gains: Assets held for one year or less. These are typically taxed at your ordinary income tax rate, which can range from 10% to 37% in the US.
- Long-Term Capital Gains: Assets held for more than one year. These benefit from lower tax rates, typically 0%, 15%, or 20%, depending on your taxable income.
