PROPERTY INVESTMENT CALCULATOR
Calculate the Stamp Duty Land Tax payable on a residential property purchase in England or Northern Ireland, including first-time buyer, home mover, second-property and limited company purchases.
Stamp Duty Land Tax is a tax that can apply to residential property purchases in England and Northern Ireland. This stamp duty calculator estimates the amount using the purchase price and buyer type selected.
Stamp Duty for first-time buyers
First-time buyer stamp duty can be lower where First-Time Buyers’ Relief applies. The relief schedule in this SDLT calculator is used only where the purchase price is £500,000 or less; above that price, standard residential SDLT rates apply to the full purchase.
Stamp Duty when moving home
For a main-home purchase, this calculator applies the standard residential SDLT bands progressively. Each portion of the purchase price is considered within the applicable band rather than one rate being applied to the entire price.
Stamp Duty on a second property or buy-to-let
A second property stamp duty calculator applies the higher residential SDLT bands for an additional residential property, including a typical buy-to-let stamp duty calculation. These higher rates are shown alongside the standard residential result for comparison.
Stamp Duty for limited company property purchases
This limited company stamp duty calculator uses the higher residential rates as an indicative investor calculation. Corporate property purchases can be subject to other SDLT rules, so the calculation does not determine whether a special whole-price rate or relief applies.
How the higher Stamp Duty rates work
The higher residential bands are calculated progressively in the same way as standard SDLT, but at higher percentages. The comparison on this page shows the additional SDLT generated by those higher rates at the purchase price entered.
Test the purchase price, finance, refurbishment costs, rental income and wider investment assumptions together.
