Stamp Duty Calculator
Work out stamp duty for any Australian state or territory, including the foreign purchaser surcharge for overseas buyers. Free, no sign-up required.
How this calculator works
Stamp duty — called transfer duty or land transfer duty in some states — is set independently by each state and territory, not by the Commonwealth. It is charged on a sliding scale against the dutiable value of the property, which is normally the purchase price or the market value, whichever is higher. The calculator applies the published scale for the state you select.
Every state charges foreign buyers an additional surcharge on top of ordinary duty, again set by the state; the ACT and the Northern Territory charge none on duty. Tick "I'm a foreign buyer" and the calculator adds the surcharge for the state you choose to the duty total. Separately, the Foreign Investment Review Board charges its own application fee before you may buy. That is a Commonwealth fee, not stamp duty, and the calculator does not quote it.
What it does not include
- Eligibility for first-home-buyer concessions, exemptions or grants, which have their own thresholds and conditions in every state.
- Off-the-plan, pensioner, farming and deceased-estate concessions.
- Land tax, which is an annual charge and separate from duty on purchase.
- Mortgage registration and transfer-of-title fees.
- Anything specific to your circumstances, residency status or visa.
Confirm the figure with the office that sets it
Rates, thresholds and concessions change, often at state budget time. Before you rely on a number, check it with the revenue office for the state you are buying in:
