Common questions
UK Stamp Duty Calculator FAQs
How is stamp duty calculated?＋
SDLT is charged in bands: each rate applies only to the portion of the price within that band, rather than the entire price.
Do first-time buyers pay stamp duty?＋
Eligible first-time buyers pay 0% on the first £300,000 and 5% from £300,001 to £500,000. Above £500,000, the relief is unavailable and standard rates apply.
Is this calculator for the whole UK?＋
No. It covers Stamp Duty Land Tax in England and Northern Ireland. Scotland uses LBTT and Wales uses LTT, each with separate rules.
Does the higher rate apply to every buy-to-let?＋
It can apply when the purchase means you own more than one residential property, but the rules have exceptions and refund provisions. Check HMRC guidance or get professional advice for your transaction.
