Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this stamp duty calculator?
It uses each state revenue office's published rates and concessions, checked on 2026-11-11. Treat the result as an estimate: the revenue office makes the final assessment, and special cases (pensioner, off-the-plan and farmland concessions) are not included.
What is stamp duty?
Stamp duty (transfer duty, or conveyance duty in the ACT) is a state tax paid by the buyer when a property changes hands. Each state sets its own rates and concessions.
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty?
Often not, or much less. NSW, Victoria, Queensland, WA and the ACT have exemptions or concessions for first home buyers; South Australia gives full relief on new homes; Tasmania and the NT have no current first home duty concession on established homes.
When do I pay stamp duty?
Usually at or shortly after settlement, through your conveyancer or solicitor. Check your state revenue office for its deadline.
How is stamp duty calculated?
Each state charges a fixed amount plus a percentage of the price (or market value, if higher) above a threshold, so the rate rises as the price rises. First home buyers, owner-occupiers and foreign buyers can pay different amounts. Pick your state in the stamp duty calculator to apply its scale.
