Korean Acquisition Tax Calculator (2026 housing)

Enter purchase price and area to estimate housing acquisition tax by price band, plus local education and rural special taxes.

Acquisition tax by price band

Housing acquisition tax uses price-band rates: 1% up to 600M KRW, a 1–3% sliding rate from 600–900M, and 3% above 900M. The 600–900M band is (price × 2 ÷ 300M − 3)%.

On top come local education tax (rate × 50% × 20%) and, above 85㎡, a 0.2% rural special tax (exempt at or below 85㎡). This estimate excludes multi-home surcharges, first-home/newlywed reductions, adjusted-area add-ons, and non-residential property. Confirm with Wetax or a tax accountant. See the property tax calculator.
