Stamp Duty Calculator

What Will You Actually Pay at Settlement?

Stamp duty is one of the biggest upfront costs in any property purchase, but the amount you pay depends on far more than just the price. Your state, whether you're a first home buyer, and whether the property is new or established can all change the number dramatically, sometimes by tens of thousands of dollars.

Whether you're comparing suburbs across state lines or simply trying to understand what might be due at settlement, the right figure depends on your specific situation. Use the calculator below to estimate your stamp duty, see how concessions affect your bottom line, and compare what the same purchase would cost you in a different state.
