About SDLT
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax you pay when buying property or land in England and Northern Ireland. Scotland uses Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) and Wales uses Land Transaction Tax (LTT).
SDLT is calculated on a tiered basis — you only pay each rate on the portion of the purchase price that falls within each band.
Additional properties (buy-to-let, second homes) attract a 5% surcharge on every band from April 2025.

Stamp Duty Calculator UK: Frequently Asked Questions
A stamp duty land tax calculator UK tool applies the current banded SDLT rates to your purchase price, then adds any First-Time Buyer relief or additional property surcharge to give an instant estimate.

Buyers purchasing an additional residential property, such as a second home or buy-to-let, usually pay a surcharge on top of standard Stamp Duty Land Tax rates.
No. Stamp Duty Land Tax applies in England and Northern Ireland, while Scotland has Land and Buildings Transaction Tax and Wales has Land Transaction Tax, each with different rates and thresholds.
SDLT must usually be paid within 14 days of completing a property purchase, and your conveyancer will typically handle the filing and payment to HMRC on your behalf.
