Free tools

Useful answers, with your assumptions visible.

Two free tools for two different questions. No account required.

Acquisition costs

Estimate the costs around the purchase.

The acquisition-cost estimator breaks down selected taxes and notarial costs for an ordinary residential purchase in metropolitan France.

Open the acquisition-cost estimator
Scope
Selected acquisition costs only. It does not look up a département or decide whether relief applies.
You enter
Purchase price, planned completion date, transaction treatment and the departmental rate your notaire confirms.
You get
Transfer duty, sale remuneration, security contribution and an allowance, with the method and sources linked.
Account
None required.

Cash planning

See how much cash you need to allocate.

The cash-plan calculator adds up the amounts you supply: price, planned borrowing, costs, works and the reserve you keep back.

Build a cash plan
Scope
Arithmetic on your own amounts. It estimates no rate or fee and makes no lending assessment.
You enter
Six amounts: property price, planned borrowing, acquisition costs, works allowance, financing costs and reserve.
You get
Cash used for the items you include, the reserve shown separately, and the cash to allocate.
Account
