Calculate stamp duty and registration charges on property purchases based on property value, type, and state/country rates.
Most buyers budget for the price and the loan and forget the tax that lands on top at settlement. This tool estimates stamp duty and registration charges from three inputs: the property value, the type of property, and the state or country whose rates apply. It looks up that jurisdiction's schedule - progressive bands, flat percentages, or a mix - applies the reliefs you select, and adds registration or transfer fees at their own rate. The surprise for most users: duty is paid in cash at settlement, not added to the mortgage, and a progressive-band regime never taxes the whole value at the top rate.
Each state or country has its own schedule and the tool keeps them separate. Some regimes apply one percentage to the full value; others use progressive bands, taxing each portion of the price at its own rate. You pick the jurisdiction and enter the value; the tool applies the matching schedule, computes the duty on the full transaction, then adds registration or transfer fees at the jurisdiction's fee rate.
Property type matters: residential, commercial, and agricultural purchases often carry different rates. First-home or principal-residence relief can cut the bill; additional or investment properties may attract a surcharge. You select the type and the reliefs you believe apply, and the tool applies them. It computes from your selections - it cannot verify that you qualify, so the result is only as accurate as the eligibility you claim.
Usually not. In most regimes the buyer pays stamp duty and registration charges in cash at or before settlement, and lenders do not fold them into the mortgage. A few regimes or lenders allow the costs to be borrowed for certain loan types, so ask your lender directly - but the safe assumption is cash on top of the price.
It depends on the regime. Some charge a single flat percentage of the full value. Others use progressive bands, where each portion of the price is taxed at its own rate, so the top rate applies only to the portion above each band. The tool follows the schedule for the jurisdiction you select - the same price can produce very different figures in each system.
