Calculators

The seven calculations every buyer and landlord in Germany needs. Free, no sign-up.

Mortgage Calculator

Baufinanzierungs- & Tilgungsrechner

Calculate the monthly payment for a German annuity loan (Annuitätendarlehen), see how it splits into interest and repayment, and how long until you own your property outright: with 2026 market rates preset.

Affordability Calculator

Budgetrechner: Wie viel Immobilie kann ich mir leisten?

Enter your net household income and available equity to get a realistic property budget: including the residency-status financing limits that most calculators ignore.

Purchase Cost Calculator

Kaufnebenkosten-Rechner

The price is not the price: German purchase costs add 8–12% that banks never finance.

Rent vs Buy Calculator

Mieten-oder-Kaufen-Rechner

Germany is a renter's country: until the math flips.

Rental Yield Calculator

Mietrendite-Rechner

Gross yield sells listings; net yield pays your bills.

Rental Income Tax Calculator

Mieteinnahmen-Steuerrechner

How much tax will you actually pay on German rental income? Enter rent, costs, loan interest and your marginal rate: the calculator applies AfA depreciation and shows your taxable income and the tax due, or your tax saving.
