Check your unrealised gains
This page values your open parcels as of any date you choose and shows the capital gain you’d make if you sold them today. It’s for planning — not for lodging. By the end, you’ll know how to model your position before you decide to sell.
Open the page
Section titled “Open the page”Go to Tax Reporting → Unrealised Gains. The subtitle shows the date your open positions are valued as of.
Header controls
Section titled “Header controls”| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Filter holdings | Search by ticker, exchange, or name |
| Date | The valuation date (defaults to today; it can’t be in the future) |
| Tax settings | Lot allocation |
| Export | Excel or PDF |
There’s no FY dropdown here — the PDF export uses the financial year from the tax URL.
Read the summary
Section titled “Read the summary”The Summary card matches your capital gains report: non-discountable and discountable sections, losses, the concession, and a net figure — but applied to your open parcels at the valuation date.
Read the parcel tables
Section titled “Read the parcel tables”| Table | Parcels |
|---|---|
| Short term capital gains | Held 12 months or less at the valuation date |
| Long term capital gains | Held more than 12 months (eligible for the CGT discount) |
Each row shows:
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Symbol | The ticker and exchange |
| Sale allocation method | The method that would apply if you sold |
| Purchase date | When the parcel was acquired |
| Quantity | The units in the parcel |
| Market price | The price, and the date it’s as of |
| Cost basis | The parcel’s cost in AUD |
| Market value | Quantity × price |
| Gain | The unrealised gain or loss |
Sort by Symbol or Gain, and each table has a Total row.
Using it for planning
Section titled “Using it for planning”- Timing — see which parcels are still short-term before you sell.
- Losses — a red Gain is an unrealised loss; for wash-sale detail, use tax-loss harvesting.
- Year-end — set the valuation date to 30 June (or the last trading day) to model your end-of-year position.
For the price-versus-currency split on a single holding, see Read a holding’s detail page.
