Many owners look only at the difference between purchase price and sale price. This calculator helps estimate the more realistic position after stamp duties, ownership costs, financing cost, CPF refund, agent fee and other transaction costs.
Use actual figures where possible. For CPF amount, refer to your CPF Home Ownership dashboard.
This separates profit, ownership cost, CPF refund and estimated cash proceeds.
| Category | Estimated amount |
|---|---|
| Buying costs | $0 |
| Holding costs | $0 |
| Selling costs | $0 |
| SSD | $0 |
Sale price minus purchase price is only the starting point. It does not include duties, financing cost, maintenance, tax, legal fees or commission.
CPF refund is not necessarily a loss, but it can reduce the cash amount received after sale. Sellers should check CPF figures before committing to the next purchase.
A property can show capital gain but still deliver weaker net returns if ownership costs, interest and timing-related duties are high.
