Stamp duty calculator QLD

When you buy property in Queensland you pay transfer duty, also called stamp duty, to the Queensland Revenue Office (QRO).

Tell us the value and whether it will be your home or your first home. The calculator applies the general rates or the matching concession.

How it's calculated

Each band of the value has its own rate, charged for each $100 or part of $100 above the start of the band.
If you will live in the property, the lower home concession rates apply.
For a first home, the first home concession amount is subtracted from the home concession duty. It is worth less as the price rises and ends at $800,000.
First home buyers of a new home or vacant land get a full concession for contracts from 1 May 2025.

An investment property worth $850,000 pays $31,275 in transfer duty.

Do seniors or pensioners get a lower rate?

No. Queensland has no separate transfer duty rate or extra concession for seniors card or pensioner concession card holders.

Do foreign buyers pay more?

Yes. Additional foreign acquirer duty of 8% applies to residential land bought by foreign persons, including companies and trusts.

Is there a price cap on the first home (new home) concession?

No. There is no cap on the value of the new home, but the concession only covers residential land.
