The calculator
How the property tax calculator works
Property purchases in the UK attract a transaction tax that differs by nation: Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) in England and Northern Ireland, Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) in Scotland, and Land Transaction Tax (LTT) in Wales. This calculator estimates the tax due based on the purchase price and buyer type.
It accounts for the higher rates on additional properties (second homes and buy-to-lets) and, where relevant, first-time buyer relief. The rules change from time to time, so treat the result as an estimate and confirm the position before you exchange.
