No tax or legal advice.
The purchase price is only part of the cost.
Plan for Grunderwerbsteuer (property transfer tax), notary, land registry and any buyer-paid brokerage fees alongside the purchase price. Select the German federal state and check the dated presets against your actual agreements.
A worked example
For a €300,000 purchase, example assumptions of 5% property transfer tax, 1.5% notary and 0.5% land registry, without a broker, produce €21,000 in acquisition costs. The total is €321,000 before renovation and other expenses. These rates are illustrative assumptions.
These examples are simplified planning calculations before tax. Your results depend on your inputs.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I need to select a German federal state?
The calculator uses a dated preset for that state’s property transfer tax. Check the rate applicable to your purchase and adjust the assumption if necessary.
Are notary and land registry costs exact?
No. Percentage estimates are planning aids. Actual fees and additional costs depend on the transaction; the calculator does not replace a binding fee or tax calculation.
