Calculator · Closing Costs (Manitoba)

What you actually pay at closing.

Manitoba-accurate Land Transfer Tax (marginal brackets, no flat rate), legal fees, title insurance, the 7% PST on your CMHC premium, and the inspection / appraisal line items most buyers forget about.

How the calculator works.

  1. Enter the purchase price and down payment.

    The calculator determines your loan-to-value and whether CMHC insurance applies.

  2. Review professional fees.

    Legal fees and disbursements, title insurance, and property tax/utility adjustments - editable defaults are pre-filled.

  3. Toggle optional inspections.

    Home inspection and appraisal costs, if applicable to your purchase.

  4. Read your total closing costs.

    Manitoba Land Transfer Tax (marginal brackets), fees, and 7% PST on any CMHC premium, all itemized.

How the Manitoba Land Transfer Tax brackets work.

Manitoba uses marginal brackets - each slice of your purchase price is taxed at a different rate. The first $30,000 is free, then 0.5% up to $90K, 1.0% up to $150K, 1.5% up to $200K, and 2.0% on every dollar over $200K.

On a $400,000 Winnipeg home, that works out to $5,650 in Land Transfer Tax. There's no provincial rebate for first-time buyers in Manitoba, unlike Ontario or BC.

PST on CMHC catches people off guard.

If your down payment is under 20%, you'll pay a CMHC mortgage default insurance premium - and Manitoba is one of three provinces that charges 7% PST on that premium, due at closing (the premium itself rolls into your mortgage).

On a $400K purchase with 10% down, that's roughly $780 in PST on top of the down payment, legal, LTT, and adjustments.
