# Compare Cash vs. Securities (Client Tool)

## Show Clients the Tax Impact of Cash vs. Securities: Donation Tax Calculator

***

When charitable giving comes up, one of the easiest ways to add value is to show—not just explain—the difference between giving cash and appreciated assets.

This is especially useful in conversations around capital gains, business sales, or year-end planning.

Use this tool to:

* compare after-tax outcomes in real time
* demonstrate the benefit of donating securities
* guide more strategic giving conversations

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.givewise.ca/for-financial-professionals/for-financial-advisors-getting-started/compare-cash-vs.-securities-client-tool.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
