How it works
Step by step
- 1
Insert sales value
Start with a cautious price assumption or your current valuation.
- 2
Check cost routes
Calculate additional costs and, if necessary, a possible broker's commission separately.
- 3
Classify tax roughly
Add the purchase price, holding period and verifiable value-adding investments.
- 4
Check off documents
Check what is available and what will only be needed for a specific sale.
- 5
Clarify bindingly
Have taxes, contracts and special costs checked professionally before closing.
What you need
Requirements
- An assumed selling price.
- For the tax estimate, purchase price, purchase date, canton and known investments.
- The appropriate object type for the checklist.
Practical guidance
Helpful tips
- Calculate multiple sales prices instead of just using the hoped-for best case.
- Collect evidence of value-adding work early on because it will be difficult to obtain later.
- Only obtain up-to-date sensitive sales documents when the sale becomes concrete.
Deliberate limits
What this tool does not do
- Costs and taxes are guidelines and not a binding statement.
- Canton, municipality, contract and personal case can change the outcome.
- The document checker does not check authenticity or legal completeness.
- A broker's commission only arises from a specific agreement.
Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Does this mean that the property gains tax is exactly known?+
No. The calculation is for guidance. The cantonal rules and the assessment of the specific case are binding.
Do I have to have all the documents as a normal owner?+
No. The private storage can grow in a relaxed manner. Current and sensitive documents are particularly important for a specific sale.
Are brokerage costs always the same?+
No. Commission, scope of services and payment conditions result from the respective contract.
