The Pied-à-Terre Tax Calculator

Your estimated annual surcharge in ten seconds — using the statute's flat-rate reading and the DOF market value, the two details other calculators get wrong.

Phase 2 re-bases condos and co-ops on comparable sales with a $5M threshold and 0.8%–1.3% rates. Pick an estimated market value (optional) to see where you'd land:

Enter the DOF market value — the "Market Value" line on your Notice of Property Value (look yours up at nyc.gov/finance) — not the assessed value and not your sale price. Don't know it? We'll pull it for you, free.

Why our number may differ from other calculators

The statute's rate table can be read two ways, and calculators around the web disagree. A marginal reading taxes each slice of value at its own band's rate; a flat reading applies your band's single rate to your entire market value. The difference is not academic — on a $3.1M condo it's $162,750 (flat) versus $85,250 (marginal). This calculator uses the flat reading, which our counsel has confirmed as the sound, conservative interpretation — if DOF ultimately administers the table marginally, your real bill would come in lower than our estimate, never higher. Calculators showing you a smaller number are betting the other way on your behalf.

The second common error is the base: the surcharge tests your DOF market value from the Notice of Property Value — an income-approach figure that is higher than your assessed value (assessed is 45% of it) but, for condos, usually still below your actual sale price. Calculators that ask for "your home's value" and mean Zillow are testing the wrong number entirely. Co-ops are valued by DOF's fractional-share method — your shares' fraction of the building's total value — which is why the official roll, not a guess, is the only reliable input.

An estimate is not your bill.

The free review pulls your unit's OFFICIAL DOF market value and runs the exact statutory math — plus what a 12-month lease or a sale would change. Usually within the hour.
