Tax lien calculator

Use the right tax-sale calculator before you decide what to bid.

A calculator helps you organize your own assumptions. It does not predict actual returns, confirm a property’s value, clear title risk, or replace the current county rules. TaxLienSimple shows the range to consider and the amount where you should stop.

Use the number safely

  1. 1. Use conservative inputs.
    Include costs and uncertainty instead of assuming the best possible outcome.
  2. 2. Check the sale type.
    Interest, penalty, premium, and redemption calculations differ by state and sale.
  3. 3. Keep a hard stop.
    The hard stop is not a recommended bid; it is the limit you should not exceed.
