What is Stamp Duty?
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a government tax paid when purchasing a residential property in England. The amount you pay depends on:
- The purchase price of the property
- Whether you’re a first-time buyer, home mover, or buying an additional property
Our calculator helps you work out how much stamp duty you may need to pay, based on your circumstances.
Note: Rates and thresholds can change with government budgets, so this tool provides an estimate only.
Speak to Us for Advice if you’re unsure.
Who Pays Stamp Duty?
First-Time Buyers
If you’ve never owned a property before, you may pay reduced or no stamp duty up to a certain threshold. Our calculator includes this reduction automatically.
Home Movers
If you're moving to a new home, the standard residential stamp duty rates will apply. This includes upsizing or relocating.
Second Homes & Buy-to-Let
If you're buying an additional property (e.g. a second home or investment property), an extra 5% surcharge is typically added to the standard rates.
How Our Stamp Duty Calculator Works
Simply enter:
- The purchase price of the property
- Your buyer type: first-time buyer, home mover, or second home/buy-to-let
The calculator will show you an estimated stamp duty amount based on the current rules in England.
Stamp Duty Tips & Considerations
- Stamp duty is typically paid on completion of the property purchase.
- Your solicitor usually handles the payment and submission to HMRC.
- Always check if changes to stamp duty rules are announced in a Budget or Autumn Statement.
- If you're buying with a partner, both applicants must be first-time buyers to qualify for relief.

We understand that from time to time our clients may find themselves dealing with circumstances that could mean they are potentially vulnerable. For example, a change in health, caring for a family member, or coping with the loss of a loved one. There are many different types of vulnerability, and what makes one person vulnerable might not affect someone else. When we are vulnerable, our need for financial advice may change. However, admitting vulnerability or seeking help can sometimes feel hard.
If this is something you would like to discuss with us, please ask for a copy of our support guide or download a copy here. This guide is designed to help explain vulnerability and the ways in which we might be able to support you. If you feel any of the circumstances in the brochure apply to you, please talk to us
