Important notes
- From 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2028, over 80% of departments apply the raised rate of 5%. A few departments still use the reduced rate of 4.5% or 3.80%. This calculator uses the standard 5% rate.
- The total "frais de notaire" (notary fees) include transfer taxes, notary emoluments, and various disbursements. For existing properties, total costs are typically 7-8% of the purchase price. For new-builds, they are typically 2-3%.
- This calculator shows the transfer taxes and notary emoluments. Additional disbursements (débours) such as land registry certificates and searches are not included.
