Compare the
real costs.

Enter the asking price, floor areas and expected running costs for a penthouse you are considering. The calculations below explain what each number means.

01 / PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT

What are you paying for the space?

A penthouse may include a large terrace. See the price per square foot with and without that outdoor area. These are two ways to describe the same asking price, not estimates of market value.

PRICE ÷ (INDOOR + OUTDOOR AREA)—Per sq ft of total floor area
PRICE ÷ INDOOR AREA ONLY—Per sq ft of enclosed living space

Enter the property's asking price and floor areas to compare.

02 / RUNNING COSTS

What might it cost each year?

Enter your own estimates for maintenance, utilities, insurance and repairs. The total is a simple annual budget; it does not include a mortgage, property tax or buying costs.

12 × MONTHLY COSTS + YEARLY COSTS—Estimated running costs per year

Enter at least one cost to calculate a total. Leave other fields blank if unknown.

HOW TO USE THESE FIGURES

These tools apply only the numbers you enter. They do not estimate market value, taxes, lending eligibility or future returns. Confirm current rules and property facts with qualified advisers before acting.
