Free planning tool

Estimate your French purchase costs.

See a breakdown of selected acquisition costs. Use the rate and transaction treatment confirmed by your notaire; this tool does not look up a département or decide whether you qualify for relief.

No signup is needed. Formula sources reviewed 26 September 2026. Method, assumptions and sources →

Your purchase assumptionsPurchase price (€)

Ordinary price basis; for the VAT example, enter the full VAT-inclusive price. No higher tax valuation, special charges or deductible furniture are modelled.

Adjust the purchase price, €50,000 to €2,000,000Planned completion dateTransaction treatment

Confirmed departmental rate, after any relief

Default 5% is an example, not a determination for your location. The total duty also includes communal tax and collection costs.

Relief status

For confirmed relief, select the actual reduced departmental rate above. We do not automatically subtract 0.5 points or assess first-purchase eligibility.

Cost allowances, remuneration discount and currency

Formalities and disbursements allowance (€)

Replace this illustrative combined allowance with the notaire’s estimate. It is not a regulated flat fee.

Notaire’s confirmed remise (%)

Applied only to the eligible remuneration slice above €100,000; not to taxes or the whole bill.

Illustrative display currencyUnits of display currency per €1

User-entered illustration, not a live exchange rate. EUR totals are unchanged.

I understand this is an ordinary residential estimate for metropolitan France excluding Alsace-Moselle. I must confirm my rate and treatment. Overseas, special/local exemptions, commercial property and non-standard valuations need a specific calculation.

Price + selected acquisition costs

This is not your complete buying budget. Agency fees, financing and guarantee costs, works, currency costs and a cash buffer may need to be added. The estimate is not a notarial quote. Properties below €10,000 are outside this simplified model.

Your tax residence does not determine the French rate in this tool. Cross-border banking, tax and reporting questions require their own assessment. US Edition and core lesson scope.
