Guidance Value Calculator

Work out guidance value instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Guidance Value Calculator

For an apartment the guidance value has two parts: the constructed area at the notified rate for that building, and the undivided share of land attributable to the flat at the land guidance rate. Together they form the minimum registrable value, which is why the land share stated in the sale deed matters as much as the carpet area.

Formula

Guidance value

Value = built-up area x building guidance rate + undivided land share x land guidance rate

Worked example

With the default values below, Guidance Value Calculator returns Total guidance value of $8,040,000.00. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
  • Preliminary estimate only. Guidance values and the treatment of undivided land share vary by state and must be confirmed with the registration authority.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Guidance Value figure worked out?

Value = built-up area x building guidance rate + undivided land share x land guidance rate. For an apartment the guidance value has two parts: the constructed area at the notified rate for that building, and the undivided share of land attributable to the flat at the land guidance rate.

How is the undivided share determined?

It is the flat's proportionate share of the total plot, usually allocated in the ratio of its built-up area to the total built-up area of the project.

What values do I need to enter?

This calculator takes 4 inputs: Apartment built-up area, Guidance rate for the building, Undivided share of land, Guidance rate for land. The pre-filled defaults are a realistic worked example — replace them with your own site or project figures.
