Your rough figures are correct except on two counts.

There is no 15% tax bracket.

Then the depreciation would be taxed anywhere from 0% to a "maximum" of 25%. So if the gain on the sale puts your overall AGI in the 15% tax bracket, that's the highest rate depreciation will be recaptured at.

I also assume you understand how tax brackets work, and realize that your entire taxable income is not taxed at at set percentage rate.

Since you refer to "we" I assume you'll be filing a joint return for 2020. Therefore your income will be taxed as follows for a married couple filing joint.

10%   Up to $19,750
12%   $19,751 to $80,250
22%   $80,251 to $171,050
24%   $171,051 to $326,600
32%   $326,601 to $414,700
35%   $414,701 to $622,050
37%   Over $622,050

So you'll pay $1,975 on your first  $19,750 of taxable income

You'll pay $7,260 on the next $60,499 of taxable income

You can use the chart to get a rough figure of your total tax based on your projected taxable income. Remember, because of the changes to the standard deduction, your first $24,600 of income is not taxed.
