Most investors focus on how much they can save with depreciation… almost nobody looks at what happens when they sell. That’s exactly why No Tax Compromise built this calculator. Depreciation recapture is one of the most misunderstood parts of real estate investing. The IRS doesn’t just let you keep those tax savings forever. When you sell, a portion of your gain tied to depreciation gets taxed differently, often at higher rates than capital gains. This tool is designed to make that crystal clear. Instead of guessing or relying on rough estimates, you can quickly see how much of your gain could be subject to recapture, how it splits between ordinary income and capital gains, and what that actually means in dollars. The reality is simple. Depreciation is a timing advantage, not a free pass. The IRS is essentially “settling the score” on deductions you’ve already taken. That doesn’t make it a bad strategy. In most cases, the upfront cash flow benefits still win. But you should understand the full picture before making decisions. This calculator answers one key question: What’s my real tax exposure when I exit? Run your numbers and drop your results below. Curious to see what people are actually looking at.
