Moments this tool earns its keep

Stamp Duty (First-Time Buyer) calculadora is aimed at people arriving with questions like these:

  • "First time buyer stamp duty"
  • "SDLT relief FTB"
  • "FTB stamp duty limit"
  • "What is first time buyer stamp duty"
  • "How to calculate first time buyer stamp duty"
  • "First time buyer stamp duty formula"

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:

  • HMRC
  • GOV.UK
