Formula Used
The rental real estate tax is calculated using the following formula:
Property Tax = (Assessed Value × Tax Rate) - Deductions
Where:
- Assessed Value - The value of the property used to determine tax liability
- Tax Rate - The tax rate specific to your state or region
- Deductions - Any applicable deductions or credits
The net rental income is calculated as:
Net Income = Rental Income - Property Tax
Worked Example
Let's walk through an example calculation:
- Annual rental income: $48,000
- Assessed property value: $300,000
- Tax rate: 1.2% (for this example)
- Deductions: $5,000
Calculating the property tax:
Property Tax = ($300,000 × 0.012) - $5,000 = $3,600 - $5,000 = -$1,400
Since the result is negative, the property owner would receive a refund of $1,400.
Calculating net income:
Net Income = $48,000 - (-$1,400) = $49,400
In this example, the landlord would have a net income of $49,400 after taxes and deductions.
