How We Calculate Hawaii Home Sale Costs
Transfer Taxes
HI Conveyance Tax: Hawaii uses a graduated transfer-tax schedule — each band's rate applies only to the portion of sale price within its threshold range.
Band Schedule
- 0.10% on first $600,000.00
- 0.20% on $600,000.00 – $1,000,000.00
- 0.30% on $1,000,000.00 – $2,000,000.00
- 0.50% on $2,000,000.00 – $4,000,000.00
- 0.70% on $4,000,000.00 – $6,000,000.00
- 0.90% on $6,000,000.00 – $10,000,000.00
- 1.25% on portion above $10,000,000.00
Source notes: Conveyance tax tiered with non-OO uplift (state-level OO rates modeled). Title payer ~60/40 Seller/Buyer customary.
Title & Escrow
Title insurance custom: In Hawaii, title insurance is typically paid by the split. Title policies protect against title defects discovered after closing; the lender requires their own policy regardless of who pays. The analyzer's estimate ($500 base + $4.50 per $1,000 over $100K) is calibrated against ALTA / TIRSA filings — real rates vary by carrier.
Closing protocol: Hawaii closings are handled by title companies — no attorney required by state law.
Tax Proration & Cycles
Billing cycle: Hawaii bills property taxes in arrears. If you sell mid-year, you owe the buyer a credit for the days you occupied the home — using a 365-day denominator (US settlement-statement industry standard).
Closing Protocol
Hawaii closings are handled by title or escrow agents; attorney fees are not customary. If you choose to retain an attorney, override the fee in the Advanced Disclosure.
Typical Hawaii seller closing costs
In Hawaii, sellers typically pay around 8-10% of sale price in closing costs — agent commission (5-6%), hi conveyance tax (0.10% to 1.25% (graduated by sale price)), title insurance (split-paid), title closing fees, and arrears property-tax proration.
