Build a simple home-buying budget from purchase price, an assumed percentage tax and other costs entered as a fixed amount.
Total budget = purchase price + purchase price × assumed rate / 100 + other costs.
For a 200,000 purchase, an assumed 8% charge and 3,000 of other costs, the budget is 219,000. The 8% rate is an example, not a statutory rate.
Real transfer taxes and closing costs may use progressive bands, exemptions, regional rates and buyer status. This tool does not calculate UK stamp duty, US state transfer tax or French notary fees automatically. Enter a verified amount or use official jurisdiction-specific tools.
