How this property tax calculator works
Property taxes in the US are levied by county and municipality based on the assessed value of the property and the local mill rate. Rates vary widely—from under 0.3 % in Hawaii to over 2 % in New Jersey. This calculator uses state and county average effective rates.
- Assessed value = market value × local assessment ratio (often 80–100 % of market value).
- Annual property tax = assessed value × effective tax rate (mill rate ÷ 1,000).
- Monthly escrow = annual tax ÷ 12, which lenders typically collect with your mortgage payment.
- Homestead exemptions, senior exemptions and other deductions reduce the taxable assessed value in many counties.
Rates are county averages and can differ significantly within a county. Contact your local assessor's office for the exact rate applied to a specific property.
