My tip for those with an irrational fear of tax on their investment earnings is to set their spreadsheet or whatever they are using to track their portfolio to display those profits with the tax already subtracted.

Tax is unlikely to ever go away. Therefore it makes sense to include the tax in your thinking from the start.

It is incorrect to look at the tax to be paid as lost profit because it was never yours to begin with.

The display of tax adjusted profit should assist with the emotional side of investing.
