Plot Cost Calculator: The All-In Cost of Land Near Mumbai (2026)
This plot cost calculator guide breaks down the all-in cost of buying land near Mumbai in 2026 – land value plus infrastructure, stamp duty, registration, legal and CAM charges on top – so the rate per sq ft never surprises you at registration.
- The all-in cost = land value + five add-ons: an infrastructure charge, stamp duty, registration, legal and CAM, each added on top of the land value.
- The infrastructure charge is typically 10% of land value in a branded plotted development (internal roads, water, power, drainage, boundary) – a working assumption that varies by project, not a statutory levy.
- Stamp duty in Raigad is statutory: about 4% male / 3% female on rural or gram-panchayat land, 7% / 6% inside municipal or council limits, charged on the higher of agreement or ready-reckoner value. Registration is 1%, capped at ₹30,000.
- Legal (about 1%) and CAM (about 1%) are typical plotted-development charges – title work and upfront common-area upkeep – that vary by project.
- Worked example: a 2,000 sq ft Khopoli NA villa plot at ₹6,000/sq ft comes to about ₹1.40 Cr all-in (~₹6,975/sq ft).
Use the calculator below to estimate your all-in cost – enter the plot size, the rate per sq ft and your stamp-duty slab, and it adds the infrastructure charge, stamp duty, registration, legal and CAM on top of the land value, with a plot-loan EMI tab alongside.

How this is figured: on top of the land value, this tool adds infrastructure at 10%, legal at 1% and CAM (common-area maintenance) at 1% of land value. Stamp duty is charged on the higher of your agreement value or the ready-reckoner (ASR) value — this tool uses the land value you enter; defaults are rural/gram-panchayat ≈4% (3% female) and municipal/council ≈7% (6% female), with registration 1% capped at ₹30,000. Rates and charges vary by project and village — confirm the exact slab with the Sub-Registrar and your developer before you transact.
What does a plot cost calculator include in the all-in cost?
A plot cost calculator starts from the land value (plot size x rate per sq ft) and adds five costs on top: an infrastructure charge (typically about 10%), stamp duty, registration (1% of value, capped at ₹30,000), legal (about 1%) and CAM (about 1%). The land rate is the starting line, not the final number.
Most buyers compare plots on the rate per sq ft alone, then get a shock at registration. The honest comparison is on all-in cost – what leaves your bank account by the time the sale deed is registered. That is the point of a plot cost breakdown. Two add-ons are fixed by the government (stamp duty and registration); three are developer-side charges that vary by project. If a plot is quoted in guntha or acre, convert it first with our conversion guide.
| Cost component | How it is calculated |
|---|---|
| Land value | Plot size x rate per sq ft |
| Infrastructure charge | About 10% of land value (varies by project) |
| Stamp duty | Statutory % of value (see Raigad slabs below) |
| Registration | 1% of value, capped at ₹30,000 |
| Legal | About 1% of land value |
| CAM (common-area maintenance) | About 1% of land value, upfront |
How much is stamp duty and registration on a Raigad plot?
In Raigad, stamp duty on rural or gram-panchayat land is about 4% for a male buyer and 3% for a female buyer; inside municipal or council limits it is about 7% and 6%. It is charged on the higher of the agreement value or the ready-reckoner (ASR) value. Registration is 1% of that value, capped at ₹30,000. Confirm the exact slab with the Sub-Registrar.
These are the two statutory costs – set by the state, so nothing here is negotiable. Most plotted land in the Khopoli-Pali belt is rural or gram-panchayat land, where duty is about 4% for a male buyer and 3% for a female buyer; inside municipal or council limits it is broadly 7% and 6% (see our Raigad plot stamp duty guide for 2026). The trap is the base: duty is charged on the higher of your agreement value or the ready-reckoner (ASR) value for that survey, so buying below the ready-reckoner still means paying duty on it – pull the ASR figure first via our ready-reckoner guide for the Karjat-Khopoli belt. Registration is 1% of the same value, capped at ₹30,000.
What is the 10% infrastructure charge?
In a branded plotted development, the infrastructure charge – typically about 10% of land value – is a developer cost that pays for internal roads, water lines, electrification, storm-water drainage and the gated boundary. It is a common working assumption used in the calculator, not a statutory levy, and it varies from project to project.
Buy a plot in a raw field and you also buy the problem of getting a road, water, power and drainage to it. In a developed, gated layout that work is done – internal tar roads, water lines, electrification, storm-water drains, the compound wall and gates – and the infrastructure charge recovers it, with about 10% of land value a reasonable rule of thumb and the calculator’s default. Because it is a developer charge and not a government levy, the figure and its inclusions differ by project, so treat the 10% as a planning assumption and ask each developer for an itemised list of what it covers, in writing, before you commit.
What do the legal and CAM charges cover?
Legal charges – around 1% of land value – cover the title search, due diligence and agreement drafting that protect the purchase. CAM, or common-area maintenance – another ~1%, taken upfront – is your contribution to the upkeep of shared roads, gates, lighting and landscaping. Both are typical plotted-development charges that vary by project, not rates fixed by law.
The legal charge pays for the work that makes the plot safe to buy: verifying the 7/12 extract and title chain, checking tenure and NA status, and drafting the agreement and sale deed. About 1% is sensible, though a complex title costs more – and a clean title is the most important thing you are buying, so skipping diligence is a false economy. If you are unsure the plot is buildable, start with our guide on how to check a plot’s NA status.
CAM – the upfront common-area maintenance contribution – funds ongoing upkeep of everything shared: internal roads, gates and security, street lighting, drainage and landscaping, usually until a plot-holders’ body takes over. About 1% upfront is typical, but like the infrastructure charge it varies by project, so confirm the amount, what it covers and for how long.
How much does a Khopoli NA plot actually cost?
Take a 2,000 sq ft NA villa plot near Khopoli at ₹6,000 per sq ft. The land value is ₹1,20,00,000; add 10% infrastructure (₹12,00,000), 4% stamp duty (₹4,80,000), registration (₹30,000), 1% legal (₹1,20,000) and 1% CAM (₹1,20,000), and the all-in cost is about ₹1,39,50,000 – roughly ₹1.40 Cr, or about ₹6,975 per sq ft.
Here is the full stack on one worked example, using the same numbers the calculator produces – showing how a ₹6,000/sq ft headline rate becomes an effective ₹6,975/sq ft, a difference of close to ₹20 lakh.
| Cost component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Land value (2,000 sq ft x ₹6,000) | ₹1,20,00,000 |
| Infrastructure charge (10%) | ₹12,00,000 |
| Stamp duty (4%, rural / gram-panchayat) | ₹4,80,000 |
| Registration (1%, capped) | ₹30,000 |
| Legal (1%) | ₹1,20,000 |
| CAM (1%) | ₹1,20,000 |
| Total all-in cost | ₹1,39,50,000 (~₹1.40 Cr · ~₹6,975/sq ft) |
The rate is realistic for the area: NA and NA villa plots around Khopoli run about ₹4,000 to ₹8,000 per sq ft in 2026 as indicative asking rates – a band, not a quote, so verify per plot against recent registered deals. For corridor context, see our guides to Khopoli land in 2026 and land on the Khopoli-Pali road. Change the rate or stamp-duty slab in the calculator and the all-in figure moves with it.
How do you budget the total with a plot cost calculator – and what would the EMI be?
Budget the full all-in figure, not the land rate – on the ₹1.20 Cr example that is about ₹20 lakh of charges on top. The plot cost calculator’s EMI tab estimates a plot loan: lenders typically fund about 70-75% of value over roughly a 15-year tenure, and only on NA, clear-title land, so you can see the monthly outgo beside the one-time costs.
The discipline is simple: work backwards from the all-in total. Decide the number you can afford, then solve for the land rate and plot size that fit it. The calculator’s EMI tab lets you test the financed route in the same screen – enter the loan amount, interest rate and tenure for an indicative monthly EMI. Just remember a plot loan is not a home loan: lenders are more conservative, typically funding about 70 to 75% of plot value over a shorter tenure of around 15 years, and usually only against non-agricultural, clear-title land, often with a condition to start construction within a set period. For how they work in the state, see our guide to plot loans in Maharashtra; confirm current terms with your own lender.
FAQ
What is a plot cost calculator?
A plot cost calculator estimates the all-in cost of buying a plot, not just the land rate. It takes the plot size and rate per sq ft, then adds the infrastructure charge, stamp duty, registration, legal and CAM charges on top of the land value, and can also estimate a plot-loan EMI so you see the monthly outgo beside the one-time costs.
How much stamp duty do you pay on a plot in Raigad?
In Raigad, stamp duty is about 4% for a male buyer and 3% for a female buyer on rural or gram-panchayat land, and about 7% and 6% inside municipal or council limits. It is charged on the higher of the agreement value or the ready-reckoner value, with registration at 1% capped at ₹30,000. Confirm the exact slab with the Sub-Registrar.
Is the 10% infrastructure charge compulsory?
No. The infrastructure charge – typically around 10% of land value in a branded plotted development – is a developer charge for internal roads, water, power, drainage and the boundary, not a statutory levy. It varies by project, so confirm the exact figure and what it covers in writing before you buy.
What all-in cost should I budget for a Khopoli NA plot?
For a 2,000 sq ft NA villa plot near Khopoli at ₹6,000 per sq ft, the land value is ₹1,20,00,000 and the all-in cost works out to about ₹1,39,50,000 – roughly ₹1.40 Cr, or about ₹6,975 per sq ft – after adding infrastructure, stamp duty, registration, legal and CAM. Khopoli NA plots run about ₹4,000 to ₹8,000 per sq ft as indicative asking rates; verify per plot.
Can I get a loan to buy a plot?
Yes, but a plot loan is not a home loan. Lenders typically fund about 70 to 75% of the plot value over roughly a 15-year tenure, and usually only on non-agricultural, clear-title land. The plot cost calculator’s EMI tab gives an indicative monthly outgo; confirm the actual terms with your lender.
Are legal and CAM charges the same in every project?
No. Legal (about 1% for title search, due diligence and drafting) and CAM, or common-area maintenance (about 1% upfront for upkeep of shared areas), are typical plotted-development charges that vary from project to project. They are working assumptions in the calculator, not statutory rates, so confirm the actual figures for your project.
