When you buy a property, substantial incidental costs are added to the purchase price. Some are fixed by law, such as the real estate transfer tax and the land register registration fees. Others depend on the individual case, such as the agent commission or the fee for contract drafting and escrow.

Enter the purchase price and select whether you are financing the purchase and whether an agent is involved. The tool lists the individual items and gives a total as a range. All figures are an initial guide and do not replace a concrete offer.

Note: real estate income tax concerns the seller

The real estate income tax (ImmoESt) generally applies to the seller on the capital gain and is deliberately not included in your buyer total here. As a buyer it concerns you only indirectly, through price negotiation.
