Override Impact Calculator
Update
The town has launched their own official override impact calculator, which uses the official FY26 tax rates and property assessments. This new calculator can be found here.
Save Our Stoneham's calculator has also been updated to with the official FY26 tax rates and property assessments, which were entered into the public record on Thursday, November 20th, 2025.
This calculator remains available for those who prefer its interface and the additional context it provides about the override questions, including what your base FY26 tax bill is estimated to be without an override, and the town impact of each override question.
Curious about how an override could impact your tax bill? Use our simple calculator below to find out how the different override numbers could impact your tax bill. Simply enter your property address or assessed property value to get started.
Note: This calculator provides estimates based on the FY26 tax assessments as provided by the Town of Stoneham, as well has historical comparisons based on FY25 tax assessments provided by Patriot Properties. The values on this page may differ from your actual tax bills due to exemptions, abatements, and other adjustments, or due to differences in assessed values provided by different sources.
