Transfer tax calculator

Enter a sale price and pick a state; you'll see the tax and who pays it.

Tiers come straight from the statute and the payer is the customary one; no exemptions and no first-time buyer reductions are applied.

Without JavaScript the calculator cannot work out the tax. These are the state rates it uses.
