Calculate stamp duty or property transfer tax from a price and the bands you enter. Works for any country — rates are never fetched from a government API.
From / To are amounts. Leave To blank for “and above”. Duty on each band = the slice of the price in that band × the rate you type.
| Band | Taxable | Rate | Duty |
|---|
Stamp duty (or a similar property transfer tax) is calculated band by band: for each band, the taxable slice is the portion of the purchase price that falls within that band, and duty on that slice is taxable × rate ÷ 100 — the total duty is the sum across every band the price passes through.
This band-by-band method mirrors how most real stamp duty and property transfer tax systems actually work internationally — different portions of the price are taxed at different, usually increasing, rates rather than one flat rate applying to the whole purchase price.
The included presets are illustrative starting points to help you get a feel for how banded duty works, not a live feed of any specific country's or region's actual current stamp duty schedule — property transfer tax rates and bands change over time and vary significantly by jurisdiction, so check your local current rates before relying on a result.
With a flat rate, the whole purchase price is taxed at one percentage. With banded duty, the price is split into slices (bands), and each slice is taxed at its own rate — usually increasing for higher bands — so the total is the sum of duty owed across every band the price passes through.
The presets are illustrative examples to demonstrate how banded duty calculations work, not a live feed of your jurisdiction's actual current rates. Always check your own country or region's current stamp duty schedule before relying on a result for an actual purchase.
Yes — enter your own band thresholds and rates to match your jurisdiction's actual current schedule, rather than relying on the built-in presets.
No — this calculates straightforward banded duty on the purchase price you enter. Exemptions, reliefs, and special first-time-buyer rates vary by jurisdiction and aren't modeled here; check whether any apply to you separately.
