Accurately calculate property deed tax, stamp duty, and other fees to help you plan your home buying budget.
China personal first/second-family-home concession from 2024-12-01: ≤140m² 1%, otherwise first 1.5%/second 2%. Other classes require the local 3–5% rate; no automatic qualification. CNY10,000 input units, not Taiwan deed tax. Reference
Estimate under PRC housing concessions effective December 1, 2024. Family includes the buyer, spouse and minor children; purchase count alone does not establish eligibility. Enter the applicable taxable price. For other property, enter the rate set locally.
Official housing deed tax policyOverview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This calculator estimates one line item: deed tax on a housing purchase in mainland China. Enter the total taxable price in units of CNY 10,000, the area in square metres (m²), and a housing-status option. It shows the selected rate, estimated deed tax, and price plus that estimated tax. The final figure is not a complete home-purchase budget.
For a qualifying family sole home or second home, the national concession uses an inclusive 140 m² boundary. At 140 m² or less, the rate is 1% for either category. Above 140 m², the sole-home rate is 1.5% and the second-home rate is 2%. Those rates took effect December 1, 2024. The official 2024 tax-policy announcement defines the concession; the calculator applies those brackets to the price entered.
Example: enter 200 for a CNY 2,000,000 price and 89 m² with “family’s only home”; the 1% estimate is CNY 20,000. “Total including tax” adds that estimate to the entered price, not to other closing costs.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Use units of ten-thousand yuan: enter 200 for CNY 2,000,000. Do not enter 2,000,000 in that field.
Use the property area relevant to the tax assessment. The calculator assigns exactly 140 m² to the “140 or less” bracket; only an area above 140 m² enters the higher bracket.
Select qualifying family sole home, qualifying family second home, no housing concession, or non-residential/commercial. The form does not verify the family’s property records or tax eligibility.
For “no housing concession” or non-residential/commercial, enter the locally applicable rate from 3% through 5%. The prefilled 3% is only a starting value.
Compare the displayed rate and estimate with the tax authority’s taxable-price assessment. A quick check is price in CNY multiplied by the displayed rate.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
For a CNY 2,000,000 price and 89 m², select the family sole-home option. The estimate uses 1%, or CNY 20,000; use this as a scenario figure while verifying the official family classification.
At the same price but 141 m², a qualifying sole home uses the 1.5% bracket, producing CNY 30,000. A qualifying second home uses 2%, producing CNY 40,000. This illustrates the calculator’s area branch only.
Enter the rate confirmed for the property’s locality and transaction. The legal national range is 3%–5%, but the appropriate rate and taxable price depend on the case and competent authority.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
Yes. The calculator treats 140 m² as “140 or less.” The higher bracket applies only when the entered area is greater than 140 m².
The input is measured in ten-thousands of yuan. Enter 200 to represent CNY 2,000,000; the result is displayed as CNY.
No. The form applies the rate branch you select. It does not look up family members’ homes, confirm supporting records, or decide eligibility. The tax authority determines whether the concession applies.
No. It adds the estimated deed tax to the entered price. It does not add other taxes, fees, maintenance funds, brokerage, or transaction-specific amounts.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
This is an estimate for mainland China housing deed tax. The field value is treated as the taxable price for arithmetic, but the tax authority determines the taxable basis. The tool does not verify whether a home is the family’s sole or second home, identify household members, confirm supporting documents, or handle exemptions and special transfers such as inheritance or gifts.
For other housing categories, use the rate confirmed locally; the 3% default is not a nationwide answer. The [Deed Tax Law](https://www.gov.cn/xinwen/2020-08/12/content_5534483.htm) sets a 3%–5% statutory range, while local rules and transaction facts determine the applicable rate. The result covers deed tax and price plus deed tax only. It excludes stamp duty, maintenance funds, agent fees, and other costs. Verify the assessed amount with the competent tax authority before payment.
