From a European perspective, 13% capital gains tax seem low. It's more in the 30% around here. Anyway, making $1m gain as an employee isn't really a thing here

- bananaface 6y agoThat's just state tax. It's on top of federal tax, which at programmer wages is 32%-37%. At the top end you're paying close to 50% total.
- benhurmarcel 6y agoThat's for salary, not capital gain, no?
- joshe 6y agoKind of. The federal rate is 25% for long term holding. But it’s at that higher income tax rate for holding less than a year. In the best case for a CA resident it will be 25% + 13%. But the worst case is as described.
