What to know about the cost of buying a home
What is purchase tax
Purchase tax is a payment the buyer makes to the state when buying property, in brackets set by property value and buyer status.
How it's calculated
It's calculated in brackets, like income tax. Each slice of the property value is taxed at its rate, and the high rate applies only to the top part of the price.
What extra costs there are
On top of the price and purchase tax, budget for lawyer's fees, and sometimes an appraisal, home inspection and notary.
What to check before buying
Understand the brackets that apply to you in advance, budget realistic costs, and consult a real-estate lawyer before signing.

FAQ
The calculator gives an indicative estimate only and is not tax or legal advice or a commitment on the actual purchase tax. The exact tax is set by the Tax Authority based on the buyer's circumstances, the property and the period. Consult a real-estate lawyer and an accountant before deciding.
