This calculator provides a simplified estimate for illustration only, using 2026 federal tax brackets. It assumes the property was held longer than one year and treats depreciation recapture as unrecaptured §1250 gain. It does not account for passive loss carryforwards, AMT, state-specific rules, installment sales, or other individual factors. To fully defer tax, you generally must buy replacement property of equal or greater value and reinvest all net equity. Orion 1031 Exchange does not provide tax or legal advice — consult your CPA or tax advisor before making decisions.
