Use our free online stamp duty calculator to calculate the stamp duty you will owe on a residential property purchase in the UK (excludes Scotland & Wales who require a different tax).
You must pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if you buy a property over the current SDLT threshold of £125,000.
Try our calculator below.
There are different rules if you or the person you’re buying with are first time buyers purchasing their first home and the purchase price is less than £500,000. Anyone buying an additional residential property worth £40,000 or more will have to pay additional stamp duty even if the property you already own is abroad.
You must send an SDLT return to HMRC and pay the tax within 14 days.
We recommend checking the stamp duty rates below so you know exactly what you’ll have to pay and there are no surprises during your next property purchase.
As of 1st April 2016, if you’re purchasing a second home or buy-to-let property you have to pay an additional 3% surcharge on each stamp duty band.
Additionally, the way stamp duty rates for residential purchases are calculated within England and Wales were changed in 2014.
The old structure was replaced with a progressive scale of charges levied on all transactions over £125,000.
The new percentages apply to the value above each threshold up to the full purchase price, for example, in the same way that income tax operates.
