About

Property tax liabilities vary significantly by jurisdiction, often defined by either a direct percentage rate or a "Millage Rate" (tax per $1,000 of assessed value). This tool provides a unified interface to estimate annual obligations regardless of the local format used.

By converting Assessed Value and Rate into a clear installment breakdown, homeowners and investors can accurately budget for escrow payments or annual bills. The logic handles both standard percentage inputs (common in Europe/Asia) and Millage inputs (common in the US/Canada).

Frequently Asked Questions

Market Value is what a property would sell for today. Assessed Value is the valuation assigned by the local tax authority, which is often lower (e.g., 80-90% of Market Value) and used specifically for tax calculations.
A "Mill" represents one-tenth of a cent ($0.001). Therefore, a Millage Rate of 10 Mills equals $10 in tax for every $1,000 of assessed property value, or effectively 1.0%.
This calculator computes the raw tax based on value. Homestead exemptions, senior discounts, or veteran reductions should be subtracted from the "Assessed Value" input before calculation for maximum accuracy.
