Formula

Property tax is based on the assessed value of your home multiplied by the local millage rate. Assessment ratios and exemption rules vary by jurisdiction.

Assessed value = Market value x Assessment rate; Taxable = Assessed - Exemptions; Tax = Taxable x Millage / 1000

Percentage: The percentage value you want to apply

Number: The original number or value

Result: The calculated result

How It Works

1Enter your property's current market value.
2Enter the assessment rate (jurisdiction determines what % of market value is assessed).
3Enter the local millage rate (tax per $1,000 of assessed value).
4Enter any exemptions or abatements that reduce your taxable value.

Examples

$350K home, 80% assessment, 25 mills, $25K exemption

1.Assessed value: $350,000 x 80% = $280,000
2.Taxable value: $280,000 - $25,000 = $255,000
3.Annual tax: $255,000 x 25/1000 = $6,375
4.Monthly: $6,375 / 12 = $531

Result: $6,375/year, $531/month
