Property transfer tax in New Brunswick
A flat 1%, unchanged since 2016 — the only Canadian schedule with no brackets at all.
What it costs, at four prices
Computed from New Brunswick's own schedule, last read against its source on August 13, 2026. Every figure is marginal — each band is taxed at its own rate — which is why the tax does not double when the price does.
| Purchase price | Land transfer tax |
|---|---|
| $400,000.00 | $4,000.00 |
| $600,000.00 | $6,000.00 |
| $800,000.00 | $8,000.00 |
| $1,200,000.00 | $12,000.00 |
New Brunswick grants no first-time-buyer relief on this tax, so the figures above are what everybody pays.
What is specific to New Brunswick
New Brunswick is the simplest schedule in the country: a flat 1%, unchanged since 1 April 2016. There are no bands, no thresholds and no cliffs, so the tax on any price is that price divided by a hundred — $6,000.00 on $600,000 and $12,000.00 on $1,200,000. It is the one jurisdiction on this site where a calculator adds nothing a pocket calculator could not, and the honest thing is to say so.
One detail does need saying: the rate applies to the greater of the price you paid and the assessed value of the property. A purchase materially below assessment is taxed on the assessment, not on the price. The figures above estimate on the price, which is the usual case and the lower of the two — so treat them as a floor rather than a quote if you are buying below assessed value.

Payable on closing day
- Land transfer tax
- $6,000.00
- Land transfer tax payable
- $6,000.00
Payable in cash on closing day, on top of the down payment. Rates are the published provincial and municipal schedules as at 2026-08-13; the rebate assumes you have never owned a home anywhere.
Where these figures come from
Read from the primary source, not from a secondary table. Rates move — Toronto's changed on 1 April 2026 and Quebec's are re-indexed every January — so the date below is part of the answer.

Estimates only, and not legal or tax advice. Your lawyer or notary calculates the figure that is actually paid, and property type, assessed value and the identity of the buyer can all change it.
The other jurisdictions
Every province and city whose schedule is encoded here. The eight that are missing are missing on purpose — their rates are set per municipality, or changed recently and have not been re-read from the primary source, and a page showing $0 for them would be worse than no page.

This page asks what you are paying for a home and where it is. The answer to what happens to that is nothing: the arithmetic runs on this page as you type, and there is no request to send it anywhere.

- Close the tab and the figures are gone — there is nothing to delete afterwards, because there is nothing stored.
This is one line of the closing-day bill
Land transfer tax is usually the largest, but legal fees, title insurance and an inspection sit beside it, and the down payment sits above it. The affordability calculator puts the whole cash-to-close figure together — and an account tracks the mortgage once you have signed.
