Estimate your annual and monthly property tax payments. Select a US state to load average rates, or enter a custom tax rate or mill rate.

## Definition

A property tax calculator estimates the annual tax liability on real estate based on market value, assessment ratios, and local tax rates (percentage or mill rates). It determines the assessed value of the home and applies the designated rate to compute the annual bill and its monthly equivalent. Homeowners and prospective buyers use it to estimate recurring housing costs.

## How to Use

1. **Select rate mode** — Choose whether to calculate using a percentage tax rate (%) or a mill rate.
2. **Select state or enter rate** — Choose a US state to auto-fill average rates, or type in a custom rate.
3. **Enter home value** — Input the current estimated market value of the property.
4. **Adjust assessment ratio** — Enter the percentage of the property value that is subject to tax (defaults to 100%).
5. **Review tax estimate** — View your estimated annual property tax and monthly equivalent.
