Land Pricing & Use Fees
Pricing ListSee the Pricing List PDF for a complete list of all pricing in the Second Life world, including details on VAT for EU Residents.
The Land Use Fee (also known as a Tier Fee) is a monthly charge in addition to membership fees (i.e., US$9.95/month Premium Membership). Land use fees are billed based on the peak amount of land held during your previous 30 day billing cycle. This includes land parcels held and land tiers donated to groups. The fee is tiered and discounted as you acquire more land. Peak usage is measured by the maximum amount of land you held -- for any length of time -- during your billing cycle. Go to Land Use Fees on your account page for further details.
Premium accounts are granted a 512 m2 bonus lease before land use fees are applied. The chart below shows the fees for all land you hold or tier you donate beyond the 512 m2 bonus.
Examples:
- You hold 512 m2 of land -- or donate 512 m2 of tier to a group. Your monthly land use fee is US$0. You will need to buy the land, however.
- You hold 1024 m2 of land and donate 512 m2 to a group. Subtract your 512 m2 bonus lease, and your monthly land use fee is US$8.
- Your total land holdings and group donations equal 4612 m2. You subtract the 512 m2 bonus lease and see that your billable square meters are 4100 m2. This amount is over the 4096 m2 tier level, so your monthly land use fee will be the next level: US$40.
Note: Island billing is separate from land use fees.
