Property taxes in a particular district are
3%
of the purchase price every year. If you just purchased a
$150,000
home, what is the present value of all the future property tax payments? Assume that the house remains worth
$150,000
forever, property tax rates never change, and that a
5%
interest rate is used for discounting.
The present value of all the future property tax payments is
$
Property tax each year = 3% of purchase price each year
The property tax never change.
Property purchased = 150,000
Assume house remains worth 150,000 forever.
This indicates that the life is infinite.
Therefore, property tax per year will be = 3% * 150,000 = 4,500
Interest Rate = 5%
Calculate present value of all annual property tax continue
forever.
In case of perpetual life, the formula to calculate present value
of annual cash flow is
Capitalized Cost = Annual Cash Flow / Rate of Interest
CC = A / i
CC = 4,500 / 0.05
CC = 90,000
The present value of all future tax payments is $90,000.
