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.
