Annual property tax = Assessed property value × Tax rate ÷ 100Here is what each input means:
- Assessed property value — a money amount. Example: ₹50,00,000.
- Tax rate — a percentage, such as an annual rate. Example: 1%.
How to calculate it step by step
- Write down the assessed property value (for example, ₹50,00,000).
- Write down the tax rate (for example, 1%).
- Apply the formula above to get your annual property tax.
- Double-check the result with the Property Tax Calculator.

Tips for an accurate result
- Keep your units consistent — mixing, say, months with years or grams with kilograms is the most common source of error.
- Round only at the very end. Rounding inputs early can shift the final answer noticeably.
- Re-run the numbers whenever an input changes, rather than estimating from an old result.
- Annual rates must be converted to the period you are calculating for (for example, divide an annual rate by 12 for a monthly figure).
