Calculate Your Stamp Duty in England or Northern Ireland
Use Numan's Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) calculator to get an estimate of the amount you could pay when buying a residential property.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, moving home, or purchasing an additional property, this calculator provides an estimate based on current 2026 SDLT rules.
Stamp Duty Land Tax generally applies to freehold, leasehold, and shared ownership property purchases in England and Northern Ireland. The tax is calculated using a progressive (tiered) system, meaning different portions of the property price are taxed at different rates.
