On this page
Use the published example
Open the tax-loss harvest calculator. Do not copy a figure from a different page. The default is the example this site has already checked.
Then change the inputs
After you have seen the checked default, type your own figures. The identity does not change. The walk is how to calculate tax-loss harvest.
Why not invent one
A wrong worked example is the worst failure a teaching page can have. FinanceLearn refuses to ship one that a second program cannot re-derive.
Scope
