How it works
How Stamp Duty (First-Time Buyer) calculadora solves the problem
Think of Stamp Duty (First-Time Buyer) calculadora as the back-of-the-envelope version of the calculation, only the envelope is a web page and the arithmetic is audited by our test suite.
Small rate differences stack up over years — always run the maths before signing. Pull last month’s statement open on another tab — then run the sums and the rest of this page explains what the answer means.
Apply the UK first-time buyer SDLT relief — zero up to £425,000 and a reduced 5% band to £625,000 — with eligibility rules.

Where the number stops being useful
Every tool has an edge where it stops being the right answer. Stamp Duty (First-Time Buyer) calculadora is no exception:
- For legally binding tax or medical decisions — cross-check with HMRC, NHS or a qualified professional.
- For very large or very small extremes the rounding error outgrows the useful precision.
- When the underlying rate or threshold has changed since the page was last reviewed — always verify with the primary source.
- When the input you have is already a derived figure (net of something) — feeding it in as "gross" will double-subtract.
Traps to steer around
Every time you run the sums for a new scenario, one of these creeps in — it's worth knowing them ahead of time.
- Assuming the UK and US versions of the same unit are interchangeable — they're not.
- Typing a comma where the tool expects a dot (or vice versa).
- Rounding early — particularly painful in percentages and compound growth.
- Ignoring the time window: a 'per year' answer makes no sense with a monthly input.
- Treating the answer as private: screenshots are fine, but the URL always reruns cleanly.
The sources behind the numbers
Where the maths needs an external authority, we cross-check against:
