How This Stamp Duty Calculator Works

This stamp duty calculator estimates the Stamp Duty Land Tax due on a residential property purchase in England or Northern Ireland using the property price and buyer details you enter.

SDLT is charged in bands, which means different parts of the purchase price are taxed at different rates. This calculator applies the correct rate to each portion instead of using one single rate across the full price.

The calculator also adjusts the estimate where first-time buyer relief applies, or where higher rates such as additional property or non-UK resident surcharges need to be included.

Property price The total amount you are paying for the residential property.
Buyer type Select first-time buyer only if the purchase qualifies for first-time buyer relief.
Additional property This usually means the higher residential SDLT rates apply to the purchase.
Non-UK resident This may add a residential surcharge to the SDLT rates used in the estimate.

Stamp Duty Calculator FAQs

Stamp Duty Land Tax is a tax charged on many residential property purchases in England and Northern Ireland. The amount due depends on the purchase price and whether any reliefs or surcharges apply.
Eligible first-time buyers can pay less SDLT than standard buyers. Relief is only available if the property price and the buyer both meet the first-time buyer rules.
In many cases, if buying the new property means you will own more than one residential property, the higher additional-property rates may apply.
Yes. If you enable the non-UK resident option, the calculator includes the residential non-UK resident surcharge in the estimate shown.
This calculator is useful for estimating SDLT, but some real purchases involve special rules, reliefs, lease treatment, mixed-use classifications, or linked transactions, so the final amount can differ.
