How it works

1. Enter your building details. City, building type (apartment, townhouse, mixed-use), approximate age, and unit size.
2. Enter your annual levy. From your most recent invoice or AGM budget.
3. Get your Levy Score. Percentile placement against your peer group from 300+ verified NZ listings across 52 suburbs and 6 regions.
4. Decide what to do. If you sit in the top quartile, the optional NZD $26 report walks through what to raise at your next AGM.

Methodology

Benchmarks are derived from 300+ verified NZ apartment listings across 52 suburbs in 6 regions, sourced from oneroof.co.nz and barfoot.co.nz. Listings are clustered by region and building type; the Levy Score uses the median (50th percentile) of body corporate fees actually disclosed by sellers, with p25 and p75 boundaries shown for context.
