The calculator is useful for property buyers planning a purchase who want to know exact costs, for comparing different offers with included costs, and for planning the budget for property purchase. It helps you avoid unexpected costs and make an informed decision about property purchase by showing you the real total purchase price.

Example with specific numbers

Example: Purchase of apartment for 100,000 BGN with broker (3% commission)

  • Property price: 100,000 BGN
  • Local tax (2%): 100,000 × 2% = 2,000 BGN
  • Notary fees: ~500-800 BGN (varies by notary)
  • Registration fee: ~50-100 BGN
  • Broker commission (3%): 100,000 × 3% = 3,000 BGN
  • Total additional costs: 2,000 + 700 + 75 + 3,000 = ~5,775 BGN
  • Total purchase price: 100,000 + 5,775 = 105,775 BGN

When buying an apartment for 100,000 BGN, additional costs are about 5,775 BGN, which means the total purchase price is 105,775 BGN. This is important to know when planning the budget and making a purchase decision.
