Stamp duty scenario
Stamp Duty on £800,000
Estimate the Stamp Duty Land Tax on a £800,000 residential property in England or Northern Ireland. The figures below show a main home, a first-time buyer scenario, and an additional property such as a second home or buy-to-let.
Main home
£30,000
This uses the England and Northern Ireland residential SDLT bands for a main home purchase.
| Band | Taxable amount | Rate | SDLT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to £125,000 | £125,000 | 0% | £0 |
| £125,001 to £250,000 | £125,000 | 2% | £2,500 |
| £250,001 to £925,000 | £550,000 | 5% | £27,500 |
First-time buyer
£30,000
First-time buyer relief does not apply above GBP 500,000, so the standard residential rates are used.
| Band | Taxable amount | Rate | SDLT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to £125,000 | £125,000 | 0% | £0 |
| £125,001 to £250,000 | £125,000 | 2% | £2,500 |
| £250,001 to £925,000 | £550,000 | 5% | £27,500 |
Second home or buy-to-let
£70,000
This applies the current 5 percentage point additional dwelling surcharge on top of the residential SDLT bands.
| Band | Taxable amount | Rate | SDLT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to £125,000 | £125,000 | 5% | £6,250 |
| £125,001 to £250,000 | £125,000 | 7% | £8,750 |
| £250,001 to £925,000 | £550,000 | 10% | £55,000 |
How this estimate is calculated
SDLT is charged in bands, so each slice of the purchase price is taxed at the rate for that band. This page uses the current residential SDLT bands for England and Northern Ireland: 0% up to GBP 125,000, 2% from GBP 125,001 to GBP 250,000, 5% from GBP 250,001 to GBP 925,000, 10% from GBP 925,001 to GBP 1.5 million, and 12% above GBP 1.5 million.
Scotland and Wales use different property tax systems. This page is for general information only and is not tax advice. Rules, reliefs, and surcharge treatment can change, so check current GOV.UK guidance or speak to a qualified adviser before relying on an SDLT figure.
