Use our stamp duty calculator to estimate the upfront costs of your property purchase.
Stamp duty is a government tax charged when you buy property. The amount depends on the state or territory, the property’s value, and whether it’s a home to live in or an investment.
It’s calculated on the property’s purchase price or market value, with each state or territory applying its own rates, thresholds, and rules.
In many states, first home buyers may be eligible for concessions or full exemptions, depending on the property price and eligibility criteria.
No. Every state and territory sets its own stamp duty laws, so costs vary depending on where you buy.
Stamp duty generally can’t be avoided, but exemptions or concessions may apply for first home buyers, certain family transfers, or specific government schemes.
Yes. You should also plan for costs such as legal fees, loan application fees, lender’s mortgage insurance (LMI), and building or pest inspections.
No. The calculator provides an estimate only. Your final stamp duty is set by the state or territory revenue office at settlement.
