1. What is House Property Tax?

House Property Tax is calculated on the income earned from renting out a property. It considers the rental income after allowable deductions, multiplied by the applicable tax rate.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the property tax formula:

Where:

• \( Rental\ Income \) — Total income received from property rental
• \( Deductions \) — Allowable deductions (standard deduction, municipal taxes, interest on loan, etc.)
• \( Tax\ Rate \) — Applicable tax rate percentage

Explanation: The calculation first determines the taxable amount by subtracting deductions from rental income, then applies the tax rate to this amount.

Details: Accurate property tax calculation is essential for proper tax filing, financial planning, and ensuring compliance with tax regulations. It helps property owners understand their tax liabilities.

4. Using the Calculator
