Use the rate published for the transaction location
Transfer taxes and conveyance fees can be stated as a percentage of consideration or as a dollar amount per $100, $500 or $1,000. This calculator supports a percentage or dollars-per-$1,000 rate plus an optional fixed fee.
Why rates are not hard-coded
State, county and municipal transfer-tax rules can change and may include exemptions or special tax bases. A user-entered rate keeps this general calculator useful nationwide without presenting an outdated jurisdiction table as legal authority.
