An indication based on the statutory rates, not advice: your notary decides whether you meet the conditions of a reduced rate and what you pay exactly.
How the calculator works
For each region every rate has its own row: the reduced rate for your only own home and the general rate. We don’t know whether you meet the conditions, so the calculator does not choose for you.
In Flanders a fixed amount is deducted at the 2% rate as long as the price stays below the threshold; the calculator shows both thresholds, because which one applies depends on the municipality. In Brussels the allowance disappears entirely once the price is above the threshold.
The notary is shown as a range: the fee follows a statutory scale that decreases per price bracket, plus administrative costs, third-party expenses and VAT. The calculator does not include a mortgage deed.
It is the same calculation as in section 16 of the report, Purchase costs, which also gives the municipality’s property tax.
Questions
Is this calculator free?
Yes. You don’t need an account and your browser does the calculation: we neither receive nor store the price.
How accurate is the result?
It is an indication based on the statutory rates, not advice. Your notary calculates the exact amount, for example if the market value is higher than the price or if you already own part of the property.
Which rate applies to me?
That depends on the region where the home is and on the conditions of the reduced rate: usually that you own no other home and move in within three years. The notary checks this.
Does the calculator include the property tax?
No. That is an annual tax on the cadastral income, with the municipality’s surcharges; the report for an address works it out.
