About the Australia Stamp Duty Calculator

NSW (from 1 July 2026): $1.25 per $100 up to $18,000 rising to $5.50 per $100 above $1.29 million and premium duty of $7 per $100 above $3.87 million. First home buyers pay nothing up to $800,000.

Victoria: 1.4% up to $25,000 rising to 6% above $130,000; between $960,000 and $2 million duty is 5.5% of the whole value. First home buyers pay nothing up to $600,000.

Queensland: general rates up to $5.75 per $100 above $1 million; lower home concession rates for owner-occupiers, a first home concession for established homes under $800,000 and no duty for first home buyers on new homes.

The formula

Duty = base for the bracket + rate × (value − threshold) ÷ 100

Worked example

Example: NSW transfer duty = $36,487

  1. Inputs: Purchase price: $940,000; State: NSW; Buyer: Home to live in.
  2. Formula: Duty = base for the bracket + rate × (value − threshold) ÷ 100
  3. Result: NSW transfer duty = $36,487
  4. Price + duty: $976,487

Things to keep in mind

  • Foreign purchaser surcharges, off-the-plan concessions, the NSW 800k–1M and Victorian 600k–750k first home concessions and the other states aren't modelled.
