The maximum federal rate is 15%.

The maximum state rate varies by state.

However, keep in mind that your capital gains are part of your AGI. A high AGI can cause various deductions to be phased out. A high AGI can also cause a higher percentage of your Social Security benefits to become taxable. It can also cause you to become ineligible for the Savers Tax Credit or EIC, for example. So, although the nominal maximum tax rate is 15%, there may be other side-effects that cause other taxes to go up.
