capital gains
Asset appreciation income
Capital gains are profits from selling an asset for more than you paid for it.
The term applies to stocks, real estate, artwork, or any property that appreciates in value: She realized significant capital gains when she sold her tech shares.
Capital gains are typically taxed at different rates than ordinary income, with long-term gains (from assets held over a year) often taxed more favorably than short-term gains.
