On top of the price, the buyer pays the real estate transfer tax — progressive, 3%, 5% and 6% — and the notary at the state tariff plus 21% VAT. For a property at €300,000 that is €12,803.44, or 4.3% of the price. A buyer of a property from the MD Realty catalog pays the agency no commission: 0%.
The mandatory costs of the buyer for four prices. The figures come from the same code as the calculator on the site.
| Property price | Transfer tax | Notary with VAT | Total costs | Share of the price | Total with the property |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| €100,000 | €3,000 | €598.95 | €3,598.95 | 3.6% | €103,598.95 |
| €150,000 | €4,500 | €646.14 | €5,146.14 | 3.4% | €155,146.14 |
| €300,000 | €12,000 | €803.44 | €12,803.44 | 4.3% | €312,803.44 |
| €600,000 | €28,000 | €1,118.04 | €29,118.04 | 4.9% | €629,118.04 |
One buyer and one seller, no interpreter; the notary files the cadastre application (€15). This is what the calculator assumes by default.
A new build bought from a VAT-registered developer pays no transfer tax: its price already includes 21% VAT.
The sale contract is certified by a notary at the tariff "Sl. list CG 49/2026". Up to €119,999.99 the fee is fixed by a scale; above that it is €480 plus €13 for every started €15,000, at most €8,000. Each party beyond two adds 5% of the tariff. VAT of 21% is charged on the whole amount.
Not in the total: registration in the cadastre from €30, the title certificate (list nepokretnosti) from €7, a court interpreter from €50.
A buyer of a property from the MD Realty catalog pays the agency nothing: the seller pays the fee. Deal support for a property you found elsewhere is a separate service: 1.5–2.5% of the price, at least €1,500, plus 21% VAT.
| Property price | Deal support, before VAT | With 21% VAT |
|---|---|---|
| €100,000 | €1,500 – €2,500 | €1,815 – €3,025 |
| €150,000 | €2,250 – €3,750 | €2,722.50 – €4,537.50 |
| €300,000 | €4,500 – €7,500 | €5,445 – €9,075 |
| €600,000 | €9,000 – €15,000 | €10,890 – €18,150 |
About €5,146.14 on top of the price: transfer tax of €4,500 and the notary at €646.14 with VAT. Buyer commission on a property from the MD Realty catalog: 0%.
About €12,803.44 on top of the price: transfer tax of €12,000 and the notary at €803.44 with VAT. Buyer commission on a property from the MD Realty catalog: 0%.
The buyer. The tax is charged on the contract price, progressively: each rate applies only to its own part of the price.
No, if the seller is a developer registered for VAT: the price already includes 21% VAT and no transfer tax is charged. The notary is paid in any case.
Not for a property from the MD Realty catalog — the seller pays the fee. Deal support for a property outside our catalog costs 1.5–2.5% of the price, at least €1,500, plus 21% VAT.
The calculator takes into account the number of buyers and sellers, an interpreter and the tax exemption for new builds.
