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.
