QLD Stamp Duty Calculator (2025)
About QLD Stamp Duty:
Stamp duty (transfer duty) is a government tax on property transactions in Queensland. The amount depends on the property value, buyer type, and eligibility for concessions. Additional surcharges may apply for foreign buyers. This calculator uses 2025 rates and considers first home buyer, owner-occupier, investor, and foreign buyer scenarios.
How to Use the QLD Stamp Duty Calculator
The QLD Stamp Duty Calculator helps you estimate the transfer duty payable when buying property or land in Queensland. It considers the latest 2025 rates, first home buyer and owner-occupier concessions, and the foreign buyer surcharge. Follow these steps for a fast and accurate calculation:
Step One: Enter the property’s purchase price (AUD) in the “Property Value” field. This should be the contract price or market value, whichever is higher.
Step Two: Select your buyer type. Choose “First Home Buyer” if you are purchasing your first new home or land to build on, “Owner Occupier” if you are buying a home to live in (but not your first), or “Investor/Other” for investment or other purposes.
Step Three: Indicate whether you are a foreign buyer. Select “Yes” if you are not an Australian citizen or permanent resident, as an extra 8% surcharge applies.
Step Four: Click the “Calculate Stamp Duty” button. The estimated duty will be displayed clearly, along with a breakdown of the calculation and a brief explanation of how the result was determined.
The result helps you understand your potential stamp duty liability before committing to a property purchase. For complex situations or confirmation, consult the Queensland Revenue Office or a qualified conveyancer.
