Stamp Duty Land Tax Estimator UK

Understanding Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) in the UK

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax you pay when buying property or land in England and Northern Ireland. The amount of SDLT owed depends on the purchase price, buyer’s circumstances (such as being a first-time buyer), and whether it’s an additional property.

SDLT Thresholds for Residential Properties

• Up to £250,000 – 0% (basic threshold)
• £250,001 to £925,000 – 5%
• £925,001 to £1.5 million – 10%
• Above £1.5 million – 12%

Reliefs and Exceptions

First-time buyers can benefit from SDLT relief on properties up to £425,000. If buying a second home or additional property, an extra 3% surcharge applies across all bands.
