Capital Gain on Rental sale

We purchased a primary residence in California in 12/2012 and lived in until 4/2018. We have been renting it out since then. The renters are moving out and Im thinking of selling it but I don't want to pay capital gains. All the articles and calculators I find online regarding capital gains seem to be before the tax changes. Any idea on how to find out if Ill have to pay capital gains?

If you sell before 4/20 then you can exclude the cap gains however you must recapture the depreciation taken or allowed first (which is taxed as ordinary income ) and the rest is cap gains that can be excluded.
