Property calculator

Getting started

Use this tool to do help you calculate your financial situation with respect to your family home and any other properties you and you ex-partner own. Your entitlements and outcome may vary depending on who’s name the property is in and whether you can prove you contributed to paying for it and it’s upkeep. Whether you are married, in a civil partnership or cohabiting may have an affect on the outcome too, but usually the courts will look to find a fair and practical solution that takes into account your families needs, especially where children are involved.

NOTE: You cannot save this tool into your activity dashboard. Therefore, we suggest that you write down the totals for future use. You may want to add them into your Agreement Builder - Family home tool at a later date.
