Information only: this calculator gives general information. It is not legal advice and does not create a lawyer–client relationship. The result is an estimate based on the figures you enter and on the statutory values shown on this page with their source and effective date. The facts of a particular case, later changes in the law and court practice may produce a different result. No assurance is given that the result is accurate or that any particular outcome will be achieved. Your entries are processed only in your browser; they are not sent to us or stored.
How it is calculated
- Harç. Charged for each signature on a power of attorney, for each copy of a formal notice served on an addressee, and, for a sale promise, on the price for each signature, with the harç for all signatures held between a lower and an upper limit in the tariff (Fees Law, tariff (2) I.1, II.2, II.3). Copies beyond the original handed to you are charged harç per page as well (II.5(a)). The amounts are in the table below.
- Notary fee. A set share of the harç the notary collects for the transaction, and never below the tariff’s minimum for one transaction (Notary Fee Tariff art. 1/1).
- Writing fee. Charged for each page of every copy the notary writes: the copy kept in the office, the original given to you and any further copies (art. 3/1). For a notice, the calculator counts one copy for each addressee in place of further copies.
- Stamp duty (damga vergisi). For a property sale promise made in official form the table’s rate is zero (Stamp Duty Law, table (1) I.A.8). The same table has no item for a power of attorney or a notice, so none is shown for them.
- VAT (KDV). The general rate is set by Presidential decision (VAT Law art. 28; Decision 7346). The calculator charges VAT on the notary fee and the writing fee only; harç, stamp duty and postage are outside the base (VAT Law art. 20).
Example
A one-page power of attorney signed by one person, with no extra copies: harç, notary fee, writing fee for two pages and VAT come to 612.38 TL at the 2026 tariffs. For a sale promise the price, the number of signatures and the pages change the result; for a notice, the number of addressees does.
What it leaves out
- A property sale contract. The tariff sets a separate fee rule for a sale contract made before a notary (art. 1/4). The calculator covers the sale promise only and treats it as outside that rule, under the general rule.
- Land-registry steps. Annotating the promise at the land registry and the registry’s own charges are not notary charges.
- Text written elsewhere. A notice drafted elsewhere and brought in for approval or service is charged a comparison fee (art. 5); it is not calculated.
- Postage. No official tariff for the postage of service was read; enter the amount the notary quotes.
- Other items. Translation (art. 4), travel allowance (art. 11), signature attestation, transactions exempt from harç (art. 8), a power of attorney made at a consulate, and apostille.
- The receipt. The notary’s own receipt decides: pages, signatures, copies and the VAT base are fixed at the office.
