Real Property Tax (Amilyar) Calculator

Real property tax (amilyar)

Real property tax — commonly called amilyar — is the annual tax you pay your local government for owning land or a building. This calculator estimates it from your property's fair market value, its assessment level, and whether it's in a city or a province.

How it's calculated

• Assessed value = fair market value × assessment level. Assessment levels are set by law and depend on use — roughly 20% for residential and up to 50% for commercial land.
• Basic RPT = assessed value × the rate: 2% in cities and Metro Manila, 1% in provinces.
• SEF — an extra 1% Special Education Fund levy on the same assessed value.

FAQ

Are there discounts or penalties?

Many LGUs give a discount (often up to 20%) for paying early or in full, and charge a 2% monthly penalty for late payment, up to 72%. Those vary by locality and aren't included here. This is an estimate — confirm rates and assessment levels with your city or municipal assessor.

What is amilyar?

Amilyar is the everyday Filipino term for real property tax, the annual tax you pay your local government for owning land or a building. It's computed from the property's assessed value rather than its market price directly.

What assessment level should I enter?

Assessment levels are set by law and depend on how the property is used, roughly 20% for residential land and up to 50% for commercial land, with separate levels for buildings. Your tax declaration or the local assessor lists the exact level for your property. This is an estimate, so verify the figure with your city or municipal assessor.

What is the Special Education Fund (SEF)?

The SEF is an additional 1% levy charged on the same assessed value as the basic real property tax, with the proceeds funding local public schools. The tool adds it on top of the basic RPT so the total reflects what you'd actually owe.

Is this calculator free, and is my data private?

Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up, and all calculations run in your browser so the property values you enter are never uploaded. It works on phones and desktops, but treat the result as an estimate and confirm rates with your local assessor.
