#### Formula

The NJ Realty Transfer Fee is calculated on the entire consideration using a tiered rate applied per $500 (or part thereof):

Fee per bracket = ⌈(Taxable Amount in Bracket ÷ 500)⌉ × Rate

Total RTF = Sum of all bracket fees

Senior/blind/disabled sellers qualify for reduced rates on residential property only.
