A guide for your country of residence
Banks that lend, down payment required, taxes in France and tax treaty: what changes depending on the country where you live.
Why calculators for non-residents ?
Calculators from banks and property sites are designed for French residents. When you live abroad, three things change.
Your taxes
Your French-source income is subject to a 20% minimum rate, and your social contributions range from 7.5% to 18.6% depending on your social protection.
Your loan application
The bank looks at the currency of your income and your country of residence, and often asks for a higher down payment than for a resident.
Your resale
A tax representative may be compulsory above a €150,000 sale price, and two exemptions are reserved for expats.
Our tools build in these rules, up to date as at 2 November 2026. They give an estimate: they replace neither tax advice nor a loan offer.
