# Land Transfer and Property Tax Calculators

> Estimate land transfer tax, Quebec welcome tax, BC transfer tax, non-resident taxes and probate fees using the 2026 rules

Buy a home in Canada and your province charges tax on the transfer of title. Die owning property and estate fees follow. Both are set provincially, and the formulas differ so much that one national figure would mislead you, which is why you won't find one here.

The [land transfer tax calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/property-transfer-tax/land-transfer-tax) covers the provinces that charge on a sliding scale, including first-time buyer relief where it exists.

## Which tool fits your province?

Quebec calls its charge the welcome tax and lets each city add brackets of its own, so it gets a dedicated [welcome tax calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/property-transfer-tax/welcome-tax-calculator). British Columbia has a [property transfer tax calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/property-transfer-tax/property-transfer-tax) with a first-time buyer exemption and a newly built home exemption.

Foreign buyer? You'll pay extra in several provinces. The [non-resident buyer tax calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/property-transfer-tax/non-resident-buyer-tax) shows the surcharge for the province you choose.

## What are probate fees?

Probate is the court process that confirms a will. Yes, it costs money. Some provinces charge a flat fee and others take a percentage of the estate. The [probate fee calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/property-transfer-tax/estate-administration-tax) estimates the amount, Ontario's estate administration tax included.

Budget for all of this next to legal fees and moving costs. You don't want it landing as a surprise. The [closing costs calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/real-estate/closing-costs) adds up a purchase for you.

Figures follow the 2026 provincial schedules. Rates and thresholds change, so it's smart to get the final number from your lawyer or notary before closing day, since they're the ones who'll actually collect it from you.
