The All-In Cost Calculator: sticker price vs what you actually pay

In one paragraph

The price a builder quotes is almost never the number you register at. Between the sticker and your bank account sit GST, UP stamp duty, the registration fee, and buyer-side charges like IFMS, floor or location premium and parking — together they commonly add roughly 12 to 20% for an under-construction home in this range. This tool takes your own inputs and the statutory rates in force as of 11 July 2026 and shows you an estimated all-in cost and the gap over the sticker. It is a planning estimate, not your exact cost and not a quote — the buyer-side charges vary by project, so confirm each one on the written cost sheet for your unit.

The one rule the registry runs on: stamp duty and registration are charged on the higher of your consideration (the price on the deed) or the circle rate for that location — and the registry applies the rate in force on your registration day, not the day you were quoted. If the circle-rate value of your unit is higher than the price you agreed, that higher figure is what gets taxed.

Build your estimated all-in cost

Enter what you were quoted, pick how you will register and the construction stage, and add any buyer-side charges from your cost sheet. Every statutory rate below is dated and sourced in the table further down; the buyer-side charges are yours to enter.

This is your figure to edit — the basic sale price the developer quoted for the exact unit, floor and facing you want, not the advertised “starting from” number. GST is charged on this value; stamp duty on the higher of this or the circle rate.

How will the property be registered?

The women's concession carries a consideration ceiling (commonly cited at ₹1 crore). Above it, this estimate falls back to the standard rate rather than silently applying 6% — confirm the current notification and any ceiling at the sub-registrar. verified · statutory as of 11 Jul 2026

This is an estimated all-in figure, not your exact cost and not an offer of sale. The statutory rates are dated below; IFMS, PLC and parking are your inputs or illustrative bands, never a project price sheet. Ask for the exact charges for your unit on the written cost sheet, and confirm the current statutory rates at execution. Verify any project's RERA status yourself at up-rera.in before you pay anything.

The rates this tool uses — dated and sourced

Crawlers and readers who don't run the calculator get the same numbers here in plain text. Every statutory rate is tagged verified · statutory as of 11 Jul 2026 with its source; the buyer-side charges are tagged not-yet-verified because they vary by project and belong on your written cost sheet, not in a fixed figure.

Three worked examples

So the numbers are checkable without the calculator, here are three fully worked cases — statutory charges only (no IFMS, PLC or parking added), using the rates dated above. Each all-in figure is just quoted price plus GST plus stamp duty plus registration.

A · Male, under construction

Sole male buyer, ₹1.00 Cr quoted, under-construction home from the developer, circle rate not higher.

Quoted
₹1,00,00,000
GST @ 5%
₹5,00,000
Stamp duty @ 7%
₹7,00,000
Registration @ 1%
₹1,00,000
Estimated all-in
₹1,13,00,000

Gap over sticker: ₹13,00,000 (~13%). Separately, TDS of ₹1,00,000 (1%) is withheld from the seller and deposited — not an added cost.

B · Woman, concession applies

Woman as sole owner, ₹90 L quoted (at or below the ₹1 Cr ceiling, so 6% applies), under construction.

Quoted
₹90,00,000
GST @ 5%
₹4,50,000
Stamp duty @ 6%
₹5,40,000
Registration @ 1%
₹90,000
Estimated all-in
₹1,00,80,000

Gap over sticker: ₹10,80,000 (~12%). The women's concession makes the rate 6% rather than 7% here — a difference of about ₹90,000 at this value.

C · Woman, above the ceiling

Woman as sole owner, ₹1.20 Cr quoted — above the ₹1 Cr ceiling, so the estimate uses the standard rate, not 6%.

Quoted
₹1,20,00,000
GST @ 5%
₹6,00,000
Stamp duty @ 7%
₹8,40,000
Registration @ 1%
₹1,20,000
Estimated all-in
₹1,35,60,000

Because the value is above ₹1 crore, this does not apply the 6% women's rate — it uses the standard 7%. Confirm the exact ceiling and treatment at the sub-registrar.

A fourth case worth knowing: a ready-to-move home whose completion certificate is already issued attracts no GST — so the same ₹1.00 Cr unit in Example A, bought ready-to-move, lands at about ₹1.08 Cr all-in (stamp duty and registration only). That normally means buying from a reseller rather than the developer, and the resale price usually reflects the no-GST advantage.

How to work out your all-in cost

  1. Start from the quoted price

    Take the quoted or sticker price of the exact unit you would buy — the floor and facing you actually want, not the advertised “starting from” figure for the smallest unit.

  2. Add GST for the construction stage

    5% for a non-affordable under-construction home from the developer, 1% for affordable housing within the limits, or nothing for a ready-to-move home whose completion certificate is already issued.

  3. Add stamp duty on the higher value

    UP stamp duty on the higher of your consideration or the circle rate: 7% for a sole male buyer, commonly 6.5% for a joint purchase, 6% for a woman registering as sole owner up to the consideration ceiling.

  4. Add the 1% registration fee

    Charged on the same value as stamp duty — the higher of consideration or circle rate.

  5. Add the buyer-side charges

    IFMS, floor or location premium (PLC) and parking, taken from the written cost sheet for your unit. These are not statutory and vary by project, so take them from paper, not from memory.

  6. Compare the total against the sticker

    The difference between your all-in total and the sticker is what the registry and the cost sheet add. Confirm every figure on the written cost sheet before you commit.

FAQ

What is stamp duty on property in UP and YEIDA in 2026?
For a sole male buyer, UP stamp duty is 7% of the value the deed is registered at. For a joint purchase it is commonly 6.5%, and for a woman registering as sole owner it is 6% up to a consideration ceiling (commonly cited at ₹1 crore), above which the standard rate applies. Registration is a further 1%. Stamp duty is charged on the higher of your consideration or the circle rate in force on registration day. Verified as of 11 July 2026 — confirm the current notification at the sub-registrar or on the UP stamp and registration portal before you register.
How much GST is charged on an under-construction flat?
For a non-affordable under-construction home bought from the developer, GST is 5% of the agreement value with no input-tax credit, per the CBIC rate effective 1 April 2019. Affordable housing — within the carpet-area limit and up to ₹45 lakh — is 1% with no input-tax credit. A ready-to-move home whose completion or occupancy certificate is already issued attracts no GST. Verified as of 11 July 2026 — confirm at execution.
What are the registration charges in Noida and Greater Noida?
Registration is 1% of the value the sale deed is registered at — the higher of your consideration or the circle rate — charged on top of stamp duty, across Noida, Greater Noida and the YEIDA belt. Verified as of 11 July 2026. The registry applies the rate in force on your registration day, so confirm the current figure at the sub-registrar before you budget.
Why is the all-in cost higher than the price the builder quotes?
The quoted or sticker price is usually the base cost of the unit. On top of it you pay GST, stamp duty and registration, plus buyer-side charges such as IFMS, a floor or location premium (PLC) and parking. Together these commonly add roughly 12 to 20% for an under-construction home in this range. This tool gives an estimated all-in figure, not your exact cost — confirm every buyer-side charge on the written cost sheet for your unit.
Do I have to deduct TDS when I buy a property?
Yes. Under Section 194-IA, when the consideration is ₹50 lakh or more the buyer deducts 1% and deposits it with the government against the seller's PAN. It is withheld from the amount you pay the seller, so it is not an extra charge on top of your budget, but it is a step you must complete. Verified as of 11 July 2026 — confirm the current procedure with your CA or advocate.
Is this the exact cost I will pay?
No. This is an estimated all-in figure built from your inputs and the statutory rates in force as of 11 July 2026. IFMS, PLC and parking are buyer-entered or illustrative, not a project price sheet, and the registry charges stamp duty on the value in force on registration day. Treat the number as a planning estimate and confirm the exact figures on the written cost sheet and with your advocate before you commit.
