Stamp Duty Calculator

Stamp Duty Land Tax for England and Northern Ireland — band by band, with first-time buyer relief and the additional-property surcharge applied automatically.

How the numbers land.

Three steps from input to a figure you can plan around.

  1. Enter the price

    Purchase price plus your buyer status — first-time buyer or buying an additional property.

  2. Read the breakdown

    Total SDLT due, broken out by band, with relief or the 5% surcharge applied where it fits.

  3. Plan the rest of the budget

    SDLT is paid to HMRC within 14 days of completion. Factor it into your deposit and total cost — and talk to an adviser about how the bill affects your borrowing.

What we assume.

Every calculator is a model. Here's where ours rounds, simplifies, or hands the detail to a real adviser.

  1. England & Northern Ireland only

    Scotland uses LBTT and Wales uses LTT — different bands, different reliefs. Use the relevant government calculator for those.

  2. 2026 SDLT bands

    Bands and thresholds reflect current HMRC rates. Changes in a budget cycle would shift the figures.

  3. Standard residential rates

    Non-resident, mixed-use, and corporate buyer surcharges aren't modelled. Speak to a tax adviser for those.

  4. Surcharge applied if you're still selling

    If your existing main home hasn't completed yet, the 5% surcharge applies upfront — reclaimable from HMRC within 36 months once it does.

Frequently asked.

Stamp Duty Land Tax must be paid to HMRC within 14 days of completion. Your conveyancer normally handles the return and payment as part of the legal completion.
