Frequently asked questions

How does the Notary fees calculator work?

It takes Property price and Property type and derives Notary fees and Total budget from them. The calculation is live as you type, so the result updates on every change.

Which values does the calculator ask for?

2 values: Property price ($) and Property type. Nothing else is required — no account, no file upload.

What does a typical calculation look like?

With Property price = $250,000.00 and Property type = Existing (old), the calculator returns Notary fees = $18,750.00 and Total budget = $268,750.00. Those figures come from running this exact tool, so you can reproduce them by entering the same values.

How much does the result change with different inputs?

It moves a lot. Using Property price = $500,000.00 and Property type = New build instead, Notary fees goes from $18,750.00 to $12,500.00 — which is why it is worth testing a few scenarios rather than trusting a single figure.

Which “Property type” option should I choose?

You can pick between « Existing (old) » and « New build ». Each one changes what the calculator works out, so switch and compare — the default is « Existing (old) ».

What does it give for smaller values?

Scaled down to Property price = $125,000.00 and Property type = Existing (old), Notary fees comes out at $9,375.00. The relationship is worth checking at both ends before you rely on a single result.

When would I actually use this?

Working out what a purchase costs on top of the asking price: transfer duty, notary or conveyancing fees, registration, and the deferral rules that can change the bill.

What is the most common mistake?

Budgeting the price and forgetting these. Acquisition costs run from about 2% to 15% of the price depending on the country and on whether the property is new or resale, and they are due in cash on completion — a deposit that ignores them comes up short.

How accurate is it, and what are the limits?

Estimate only — not financial advice.

What is the difference between the Notary fees calculator and the 1031 exchange calculator?

This one returns Notary fees and Total budget; the 1031 exchange calculator returns Adjusted basis and Realized gain. That is the whole difference — open the one whose figure you need.
