How the estimate works
- Japanese property taxes are based on the official assessed value, not the price. If you don't know it, the simple estimate for buildings and for apartment-unit land uses 70% of the price, split 50% land and 50% building. This split is our working assumption, not a legal standard. Land for whole buildings and houses is valued using our service's own estimate.
- The building's assessed value is estimated from the conditions you enter, with reference to standards published by public agencies and other sources. If you enter the actual assessed value, that amount takes priority. Estimates may differ from the amount actually used for taxation.
- Tax rates follow official Japanese rules in force on the calculation date. When a temporary reduction expires, the item is flagged as needing a rate check.
- Reliefs that depend on personal conditions (owner occupation, new build, earthquake resistance) are not applied automatically.
- Costs that cannot be estimated, such as loan guarantee fees, are left out of the total and listed separately.
- Amounts are shown in yen, with US dollar amounts for reference. The exchange rate is a cross rate calculated from the Export-Import Bank of Korea's KRW reference rates for the yen and the US dollar on the same date, or a rate you enter. Notary and international wire fees are estimated in US dollars and converted to yen at that rate.
