Homestead Exemption Savings Calculator (Estimate)

A rough estimate of what an exemption could save you: exemption amount × your local tax rate. This is an estimate only; your assessor and tax bill decide the real number.

Find your rate on your last tax bill or your county's website. Some exemptions apply only to some taxes (for example only school taxes), which would lower the real savings.

How much does a homestead exemption save?

Roughly the exemption amount times your local tax rate. A $50,000 exemption at a 2% rate saves about $1,000 a year, if it applies to all taxes on your bill.

Why is my real savings different?

Some exemptions apply only to certain taxes, have caps, or interact with assessment limits. Your assessor applies the actual rules.

Florida or Texas homeowner? Your exemption is only part of the savings. Try the assessment cap calculator to see how the yearly cap on assessed value adds up.

Think your home is valued too high? Run the free “Is my assessment too high?” check to compare your notice with your own value estimate and see your appeal deadline.

South Carolina homeowner? Use the South Carolina 2026 homestead exemption calculator for the temporary $75,000 exemption.

Florida homeowner? Use the Florida Amendment 3 calculator to compare today's exemption with the newly approved $150,000 (2027) and $250,000 (2028).

Georgia homeowner? Use the Georgia Homeowner Tax Relief Grant calculator to see what the one-time $18,000 assessed-value reduction takes off your 2026 bill.

How we calculate

Exemption amount: a flat-dollar exemption is capped at your home's value; a percentage exemption is that percent of your home's value.
Estimated yearly savings = exemption amount × local tax rate (enter a percent, or mills: dollars per $1,000 of value, so 1 mill = 0.1%). A tax credit is shown as-is.
Some exemptions only apply to some taxing units (for example school taxes), so real savings may be lower. Your tax bill and assessor decide the real number.
