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.
This tool estimates stamp duty (transfer duty / conveyance duty) on standard residential property purchases across all 8 Australian states and territories. It covers owner-occupier, investor, and first home buyer scenarios for established and new residential homes. It does not cover foreign buyer surcharges, off-the-plan concessions, family transfers, commercial property (except where noted), or other specialist scenarios. Rates are based on published 2025–26 schedules. Always verify with your state revenue office or conveyancer before settlement.

Stamp duty estimates are based on published 2025–26 rate schedules and may not reflect every concession, exemption, surcharge, or special case (including foreign buyer surcharges, off-the-plan concessions, family transfers, pensioner concessions, or commercial property variations). Actual duty payable is determined by the relevant state or territory revenue authority, not by this tool.
Before making any financial decisions, you should seek advice from a qualified and licensed professional, and verify your stamp duty liability with a licensed conveyancer, solicitor, or the relevant state revenue office.
