Calculate the Stamp Duty on your residential property in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. You have to pay Stamp Duty (SDLT) if you buy a property costing more than £125,000 (£40,000 for additional homes). Use this calculator to work out how much Stamp Duty is payable.
Anyone purchasing an additional home including buy to let properties will have to pay an extra 3% surcharge on top of each stamp duty band.
Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) has replaced Stamp Duty in Scotland. LBTT rates will also attract a 3% surcharge for second homes. Calculate the LBTT payable.
The effective tax rate is 0.0%
The effective tax rate is {{ stampDuty.percentageTax() | number: 1 }}%
Stamp Duty is paid at different rates, depending on the purchase price. For example, someone buying a property for £245,000 would pay no tax on the value of the property up to £125,000 and 2% tax on the property value between £125,001 and £245,000. In this case, total liability for Stamp Duty would be £2,400 giving an effective tax rate of 1%.
Anyone buying a second home including a buy to let property will pay an extra 3% on top of the relevant standard rate band. In this example that would represent an extra £7,350, meaning the total stamp duty would be £9,750 giving an effective tax rate of 4%.

You have to pay Stamp Duty within 30 days of buying a property. If you're using a solicitor to carry out the conveyancing, they will normally organise the payment for you.
