Stamp Duty Calculator
Estimate the Stamp Duty Land Tax payable on a residential purchase, including additional-property and non-UK resident surcharges where applicable.
England & Northern Ireland rates only, correct as of April 2025. Scotland (LBTT) and Wales (LTT) use different bands. This is an estimate for illustration, not tax advice. Always confirm your exact liability with a solicitor or tax adviser before exchanging contracts.
The purchase cost is more than SDLT
Costs to plan for alongside stamp duty:
- Legal fees
- Mortgage fees
- Valuation and survey
- Company and accounting
- Furnishing
- Initial letting and setup
Standard bands
The baseline rate everyone pays, rising from 0% to 12% as the price climbs through each band.
Additional property surcharge
An extra 5% on every band where this is not your only home: second homes, buy-to-lets and most company purchases.
Non-UK resident surcharge
A further 2% where you have spent fewer than 183 days in the UK in the 12 months before completion. It stacks on top.
First-time buyer relief
0% up to £300,000 and 5% up to £500,000, but only on a first ever home and only below £500,000.
This calculator provides an estimate based on the information entered and the rates configured within the tool. SDLT treatment depends on the property and purchaser’s circumstances. Confirm the final position with a solicitor or qualified tax professional before proceeding.
