Property Selling Calculators

Know exactly what you'll net before listing your property. South African sellers face agent commission, compliance certificates, bond cancellation, and potentially capital gains tax. These calculators give you the full picture.

Selling Costs in South Africa

Estate agent commission is the largest selling cost โ€” typically 6% + VAT, though this is negotiable. On a R2,000,000 sale, that is R138,000. Other costs include compliance certificates (R3,000โ€“R8,000 depending on property), bond cancellation fees (R4,000โ€“R9,000), and potentially capital gains tax on investment properties.

Primary residences are exempt from CGT on the first R2,000,000 of gain per person โ€” most South African homeowners pay no CGT at all.
