Seller Cost Calculator
Estimate capital gains tax and transaction fees when you sell property in Mexico.
How this calculator works
Enter your expected sale price, what you paid for the property, and any documented improvements or deductible costs. The calculator subtracts those costs from the sale price, then uses your residency, exemption, and tax-rate settings to estimate capital-gains tax (ISR). It adds the agent commission and any other costs you select to estimate what may be left. A Mexican notary must calculate your actual tax.
Residency status
Capital gains treatment differs for residents (with RFC) and non-residents.
Expected sale price
Enter the agreed sale price. All calculations are in MXN.
Cost basis & deductible amounts
Include original purchase price, capital improvements with facturas, and allowable selling expenses.
Capital gains tax (ISR)
Typical effective rates range from 10% to 35% of the taxable gain depending on documentation and personal tax situation.
Residents apply progressive ISR rates (10%-35%) after exemptions and deductions.
Real estate agent commission
Typical commission is 5% - 8% of the sale price plus 16% VAT.
