Stamp Duty Calculator

You must pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The current SDLT threshold is £125,000 for residential properties and £150,000 for non-residential land and properties.

There are different rules if you’re buying your first home. You get a discount (relief) that means you pay less or no tax if:

  • you complete your purchase on or after 22 November 2017
  • the purchase price is £500,000 or less
  • you, and anyone else you’re buying with, are first-time buyers

Use our calculator to work out the stamp duty payable for your purchase (if you are moving home e.g. selling your home and buying a new one, simply enter the price and click ‘Calculate’; if you are a first time buyer, or purchasing a buy to let property/second home, please tick the relevant box before clicking ‘Calculate’)
