How are capital gains taxed in Arkansas in 2025?

Arkansas taxes capital gains as income at a 3.9% top rate but excludes 50% of net long-term capital gains. On top of that, the federal government taxes long-term gains at 0%, 15%, or 20% (and short-term gains at ordinary rates), and high earners may owe the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax.

Does the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax apply?

It can. The NIIT adds 3.8% on the lesser of your net investment income and the amount your modified AGI exceeds $200,000 (single or head of household), $250,000 (married filing jointly), or $125,000 (married filing separately). These thresholds are set by statute and are not adjusted for inflation. This calculator includes it automatically.

Arkansas taxes capital gains but allows a partial exclusion before its income-tax rate applies.

Federal long-term gains (assets held over one year) are taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20% by total taxable income.

Estimate, not tax advice. The Arkansas portion is modelled at the state’s top marginal rate, so your actual state tax may be lower; local/city taxes and special-rate assets (collectibles, qualified small-business stock, depreciation recapture) are not included. Verify with the IRS and the Arkansas tax authority.
