Definition

'The software' includes all HyperText Markup Language (htm, html) and JavaScript (js) files that comprise the DERM Land Titles Fee Calculator.

Current version

This calculator is valid only in the current financial year. After this date, you will need to download a new version to cover annual changes in lodgment fees.

Browsers and operating systems

You can use this downloadable calculator without first connecting to the internet. You will not need any specific hardware or software, apart from a computer with a web-capable operating system and an appropriate web browser. Those successfully tested include:

There is no guarantee that the calculator will function correctly with operating systems or browsers not included in this list.

NOTE:

In some versions of Internet Explorer you may experience a yellow information bar appearing when you open the calculator.

This information bar will notify you that Internet Explorer has restricted the calculator from running the scripts required to calculate lodgment fees. To remove the information bar, allowing the scripts to run, click anywhere inside it with the mouse and select the option “allow blocked content”, then select “yes” when the security warning window appears. This will then allow the calculator to display and function in its entirety.

The calculator is available in a zip format and a self-extracting exe file.
