Real estate transfer tax NRW: the fixed rate in the planning model

For a normal taxable property purchase in North Rhine-Westphalia, the calculator uses 6.5% of the purchase price entered. For 350,000 € that is 22,750 €. The calculator does not check special cases and different tax assessment bases. The tax assessment is decisive.

Notary and land register are not a flat tax

The pre-filled 2% is a changeable budget approach, not a fee calculation according to GNotKG. Contract design, mortgage, execution and other processes influence the actual amounts. For reliable planning, obtain specific cost information. Financing interest and ongoing housing costs are not included in the result.

Commission, equity and additional costs

Enter your own agreed share of agent’s commission; no universal commission obligation is assumed. Without an agent, enter 0. Combine appraisal, moving, renovation or other one-off expenses in the final field. With a 350,000 € purchase price, an assumed 2% for notary costs, 0% commission and no other costs, acquisition costs are 29,750 € and the total budget is 379,750 €. This is an example, not a financing offer.
