About this calculator

About the intangible / mortgage tax calculator

Several states levy an intangible or mortgage tax on new financing, calculated on the loan amount rather than the price. This calculator returns that figure instantly so it's never missed or miscounted on a quote.

On your site it gives lenders and buyers a fast, accurate number for the financing-related taxes on their deal — one more reason partners send the file to you.

What is intangible tax on a mortgage?

A tax charged on a new mortgage, calculated on the loan amount rather than the purchase price. Not every state has one, and the rate and rounding conventions vary.

Does a cash buyer pay intangible tax?

No. With no mortgage recorded there is nothing for the tax to attach to.

Is intangible tax charged on a refinance?

Where the state levies it, generally yes on the new loan, sometimes with credit for tax already paid on the loan being replaced. The rules vary.

Is it charged on the loan or the price?

On the new loan amount, not the purchase price — which is exactly why a dedicated calculator helps avoid mistakes.

Can you set it to my state's rate?

Yes. We configure the rate for your jurisdiction so the estimate matches your closings.

Who pays the intangible tax?

Ordinarily the borrower, as part of the cost of recording the mortgage, though as with most closing costs the contract can allocate it differently.

Is this the same as documentary stamp tax on the note?

No, though they often appear together and get conflated. One is charged on the obligation to pay, the other on the security instrument. Some states levy both, some neither.

A tax on the mortgage, not the sale

It is charged on the loan, not the price

Intangible and mortgage-recording taxes are calculated on the amount financed. A cash buyer pays none of it, and two buyers at the same purchase price pay very different amounts depending on how much they borrow — which is why it cannot be estimated as a percentage of the sale.

It is easy to miss on a refinance

A refinance has no sales price to anchor to, so this tax is routinely left out of an informal estimate and then appears on the statement.

Why it belongs on your website

Loan officers quote closing costs constantly and this is one of the lines they most often omit. A calculator that includes it makes you the title company whose numbers hold up.

The rounding nobody expects

It rounds up, usually

Most jurisdictions that levy this tax round the loan amount up to a set increment before applying the rate. On a loan just above a threshold that rounding adds a charge the borrower's own arithmetic will not produce.

Modifications and assumptions

Modifying an existing mortgage, or assuming one, can trigger the tax on the new or increased amount rather than the whole balance. The rules are jurisdiction-specific and this is a line worth confirming rather than assuming.
