See the real total cost of acquiring land — beyond the sticker price. Stamp duty, registration, brokerage, and legal fees add up fast.
Automate land intelligence with Proquiro's acquisition platform.
Try FreeThe sticker price of land is never the final cost. Stamp duty, registration fees, brokerage, legal charges, and survey fees can add 10–15% on top of the base price. For a ₹1 crore plot, that means ₹10–15 lakhs in additional costs that teams often underestimate. This calculator gives you the complete picture so your budget is realistic from day one.
Stamp duty rates vary by state — Tamil Nadu charges 7%, Karnataka 5.6%, Maharashtra 5–6%, Telangana 7.5%. Registration fees are typically 1% of the property value capped at a maximum amount. These are non-negotiable government charges calculated on the transaction value or guideline value, whichever is higher. Brokerage is negotiable and usually ranges from 1–2% of the deal value.
Underestimating acquisition costs leads to budget overruns, delayed closings, and strained cash flow. When teams calculate the full cost upfront — including all fees, duties, and charges — they can secure adequate financing, negotiate better terms, and present accurate ROI projections to stakeholders. The overhead percentage gives you a quick benchmark for how much extra to budget beyond the land price.
