What is Irish property tax?
Irish property tax usually refers to Local Property Tax (LPT), an annual tax based on the market value of residential property in Ireland. The amount you pay can change depending on:
- Your property's valuation
- The national LPT framework
- Your local authority's adjustment (upward or downward)
- Any exemptions, deferrals, or reliefs you qualify for
How to use this Irish property tax calculator
Step 1: Enter your estimated market value
Use a realistic open-market value for your property. If you are unsure, check recent sale prices in your area and adjust for size, condition, and location.
Step 2: Add your local authority variation
Local councils can vary LPT rates (often within a limited range). If your area increased rates, enter a positive number such as 10. If reduced, enter a negative number such as -10.
Step 3: Include reliefs if relevant
Some households may qualify for partial reductions or reliefs. Enter your estimated annual amount and the calculator will subtract it from the adjusted tax.
Calculation method used in this tool
This page applies a simplified estimator:
- Up to €200,000: base tax = €90
- €200,001 to €1,050,000: base tax = 0.1029% of market value
- Above €1,050,000: base tax = (0.1029% of first €1,050,000) + (0.25% of the excess)
- Local adjustment: base tax × (1 + local variation %)
- Final estimate: adjusted tax - reliefs (not below zero)
Example scenarios
Example A: €300,000 home, no local change
At 0.1029%, base LPT is approximately €308.70 annually. Monthly equivalent is about €25.73.
Example B: €450,000 home, +10% local variation
Base tax is approximately €463.05. A +10% council adjustment increases this to about €509.36 per year.
Example C: €180,000 home, -15% local variation
Base tax starts at €90. With a -15% local variation, estimated annual charge becomes €76.50.
Tips for a more accurate estimate
- Use conservative and realistic property values (don't guess too low or too high).
- Check your council's most recent LPT variation decision.
- Re-check if your property has changed significantly (extension, major upgrade, subdivision).
- Confirm whether exemptions or deferrals apply to your exact circumstances.

No. It's a planning tool. Your final liability is determined by the Revenue Commissioners and applicable Irish tax legislation.
Does this include penalties or late fees?
No. It estimates core annual LPT only. Any interest, penalties, or collection-related charges are outside this calculator.
Can landlords and homeowners both use it?
Yes. It can be used for any residential property estimate, but legal responsibility for payment depends on ownership and occupancy rules.
