Sell · Net proceeds calculator What you actually walk away with.

For most sellers the three biggest line items are the agent commission (typically 5–7% of the final sale price; 5–6% is the Samaná norm), the seller's attorney fee, and capital gains tax (27% of the profit for a company; 0–25% on a progressive scale for an individual). Outstanding mortgage balance is settled at closing too. Unlike the buyer side, the seller does not pay the 3% transfer tax — that is the buyer's responsibility under DR law.

Standard real estate commission in the Dominican Republic ranges from 5% to 7% of the final sale price, sometimes split between a listing agent and a buyer's agent. Higher-end properties in Samaná and luxury beachfront sometimes negotiate down to 4–5%, while smaller or harder-to-sell listings can carry 7–8%. The commission is paid at closing from the sale proceeds.

The Dominican Republic taxes the capital gain — 27% if a company sells; an individual pays the progressive income-tax scale (0–25%), where the first ~RD$416,000 of gain is tax-free. The gain is calculated as: final sale price − original purchase price − documented improvements − deductible selling costs (commission, legal fees). The DGII publishes an annual inflation adjustment factor that can further reduce the taxable gain — this calculator uses the simple formula without indexation, so your actual tax may be lower. Always work with a DR accountant before closing.

Yes — documented capital improvements (renovations, additions, kitchen rebuilds, etc.) reduce your taxable gain, and this calculator subtracts the amount you enter. In practice DGII requires notarized invoices and supplier receipts to accept these deductions, and many sellers do not keep them. Only enter improvements you can document; if you cannot, leave the field at zero for a conservative (higher) tax estimate.

Do not assume so. CONFOTUR (Law 158-01) exemptions belong only to the first buyer who purchased directly from the developer of a certified project — they do not pass to a resale buyer (Art. 4, Párrafo IV) — and run for 15 years from the project's completion. The law does not single out capital gains, so whether its income-tax exemption reaches your sale is a question for your attorney and your project's resolution. The CONFOTUR toggle shows the no-tax scenario only as a what-if.

Your remaining mortgage balance is paid off directly from the sale proceeds at closing — it does not affect the agent commission, legal fees, or capital gains calculation (those are based on the final sale price). Enter your current payoff balance (principal plus any accrued interest and prepayment penalties) to see the true cash you'll walk away with.

In the Dominican Republic, the 3% Impuesto de Transferencia is a buyer-side closing cost paid to DGII upon registering the new title. The seller has no obligation to pay it — the opposite of many other countries. Make sure your sale agreement clearly assigns this cost to the buyer to avoid disputes at closing.
