Stamp Duty Calculator
Estimate stamp duty (land transfer tax) for a property purchase across six regions: UK, Australia (NSW & VIC), India, Ireland and a US average. Marginal brackets are applied exactly like income tax, and first-time-buyer relief is applied where available. Results are an estimate only — confirm with your conveyancer before budgeting.
How to use
- 1
Pick your region
Choose UK, NSW, VIC, India, Ireland or US average. Each uses its own marginal bracket table.
- 2
Enter the property price
Type the purchase price in your selected currency. Duty is computed using marginal brackets like income tax.
- 3
Apply first-time-buyer relief
If you're a first-time buyer in a region that offers relief (UK, NSW, VIC), tick the box to apply the reduced bands.
- 4
Read the breakdown
Total duty, effective rate and a per-bracket breakdown are shown. The bracket table below shows how each region's rates stack up.
Common use cases
- Budget the cash you'll need at closing — not just the deposit but the duty too.
- Compare stamp duty between two regions before relocating.
- See whether staying just below a bracket boundary saves meaningful duty.
Limitations
- This calculator produces an estimate only and is not professional real-estate, tax, accounting or investment advice. Stamp-duty brackets, tax rules and fees vary by jurisdiction and change frequently — always confirm current rates with your conveyancer, tax office or financial advisor before signing anything.
- Bracket thresholds and first-time-buyer bands are simplified to the most common 2024 rates and change frequently. Always confirm with the relevant revenue authority.
- Surcharges for additional properties (second homes, buy-to-let, foreign buyers) and corporate purchases are not included.
- India and US use a single blended rate — actual state-by-state duty can vary widely.
- Bracket thresholds are published in each region’s local currency but are displayed here in your selected currency for convenience. The numbers are treated as if they were denominated in your chosen currency — this is a display simplification, not a currency conversion. For an accurate local- currency estimate, select the region’s native currency above.
