Korean Property Acquisition Tax Calculator
Estimate Korea's acquisition tax for purchases, inheritance, gifts, and new builds, factoring in homes owned and regulated zones
This calculator estimates the acquisition tax, local education tax, and special rural development tax owed in South Korea when you acquire a home by purchase, inheritance, gift, or new construction. Enter the acquisition price, exclusive floor area, how many homes you already own, and whether the property sits in a regulated zone, and it applies South Korea's standard rate tables to show your projected tax bill instantly. Everything is calculated in your browser, so the amounts you enter are never sent to a server.

How to use
- Enter the property's acquisition price (KRW) and exclusive floor area (㎡).
- Select how the property is being acquired (purchase/pre-sale, inheritance, gift, or original acquisition of a new build).
- For a purchase, set the number of homes you own and whether the property is in a regulated zone; for inheritance or gifts, check any applicable exemption or heavy-tax conditions.
- Review the acquisition tax, local education tax, special rural development tax, and total due shown on screen, and copy the results if you need them.
FAQ
- Could the amount here differ from my actual tax assessment?
- Yes. This is an estimate based on South Korea's standard rate tables, and your real assessment can differ due to local government reductions, exemptions, or your individual circumstances. Confirm the exact figure through Wetax or your local city, county, or district office.
- Why is the rate so much higher for multiple-home owners?
- Under South Korea's heavy acquisition tax rules introduced in 2020, rates of 8–12% apply when you acquire a second or additional home in a regulated zone, or a third or additional home outside one. Selecting the number of homes you own and the regulated-zone status applies those higher rates automatically.
- Is the acquisition price I enter stored anywhere?
- No. All calculations happen inside your browser, and nothing is transmitted to or saved on a server.
