Indicative simulation. Does not include bank charges or Stamp Duty on the loan. IMT is charged on the higher of the price and the taxable property value. Here, taxes are calculated on the purchase price, for mainland Portugal. The Autonomous Regions have their own brackets.

Buyers aged 35 or under purchasing their first own permanent home may be exempt from IMT and Stamp Duty. The specialist will confirm whether this applies to your case.
