Navigating the intricacies of property ownership can be challenging, especially when understanding and fulfilling your tax obligations. Our Philippines Real Property Tax calculator is designed to simplify this process, providing an easy way to estimate your annual property tax in the Philippines.
How Real Property Tax is calculated in the Philippines
Real Property Tax is levied on Philippine real estate properties. The tax rate varies depending on the location of the property, with a typical rate of 1% to 2% of the property’s assessed value for cities and municipalities within Metro Manila, and 1% for those outside Metro Manila. The assessed value is determined by the local government’s assessment of the property’s fair market value multiplied by an assessment level that varies based on the property type (e.g., residential, commercial, agricultural).
Using our Philippines Real Property Tax calculator
- Select the property’s location: Specify if your property is located within or outside Metro Manila to apply the appropriate tax rate.
- Enter the Fair Market Value (FMV): Input the FMV of your property as determined by your local government unit (LGU). If unsure, refer to your tax declaration document for the FMV.
- Calculate: Once all information is inputted, the Philippines Real Property Tax calculator will automatically calculate how much Real Property Tax should be paid.
