How much stamp duty will you pay in Australia?

Quick answer: Transfer duty by state, 2024–25 scales: a $750,000 home carries about $28,270 in NSW, $40,070 in Victoria and $26,775 in Queensland. See yours before you sign.

Transfer duty is a state tax, and the state line on the contract is a real price difference: the same $750,000 home carries about $28,270 of duty in NSW, $40,070 in Victoria and $26,775 in Queensland on the 2024–25 published scales. Pick your state, see the duty and the effective rate. First-home concessions are flagged honestly rather than guessed — they are generous, state-specific, and change often enough that your state revenue office deserves the final word.

Common questions

Why does Victoria cost so much more?

Victoria's scale reaches a 6% marginal rate by $130,000 and flattens at 5.5% of the full price for most metropolitan purchases — the steepest of the big three. NSW and Queensland climb more slowly. On the default $750,000 the Victorian buyer pays roughly $12,000–13,000 more than either neighbour for the identical price.

What do first-home buyers actually get?

Real relief, defined per state: exemptions and concessions that can eliminate duty entirely under state-specific price thresholds and phase out above them. The rules shift with budgets — which is why this calculator flags eligibility instead of computing a number that could be a year stale. Check your state revenue office with your exact price.

Is stamp duty on top of the deposit?

Yes, and it is due at or shortly after settlement in cash — lenders don't fold it into the loan. On a $750,000 NSW purchase with a 10% deposit you need about $103,000 of cash before moving costs: $75,000 deposit plus $28,270 of duty. Budgeting the duty late is the classic first-purchase shock.
