How Proforma Studio Calculates Country-Specific Upfront Costs in Your Real-Estate Proforma
Stamp duty, registration, closing costs, land transfer tax, and more—how the platform bakes them into your deal model by country.
How country context drives the numbers
When you set a deal's country in Proforma Studio, the platform applies that country's rules: currency (INR, USD, CAD), date format, and—critically—the right upfront costs. Stamp duty and registration in India, closing costs and title insurance in the USA, land transfer tax and HST in Canada: all feed into your total investment and cash flows.
What gets calculated automatically
The proforma engine uses configurable rates for stamp duty, registration fees, TDS (India), closing costs (USA), and land transfer tax (Canada). You see a single total cost of acquisition that includes these line items, so you can compare scenarios and share reports with stakeholders without manual spreadsheets.
Proforma Studio in action
In the deal setup, choose India, USA, or Canada. The Proforma view will show the relevant taxes and fees with labels that match local practice. Adjust assumptions and watch the total update in real time. Use the same logic across portfolios that span multiple countries.
