ABSD calculator: Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty
Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) is paid on top of Buyer's Stamp Duty when you buy a residential property, depending on who you are and how many homes you already own.
Pick your profile and enter the price to see the ABSD, the BSD and the total stamp duty.
How it's calculated
- ABSD is a flat rate on the purchase price or the market value, whichever is higher.
- Singapore Citizens pay nothing on their first home, 20% on the second and 30% from the third.
- PRs pay 5% on the first home, 30% on the second and 35% from the third. Foreigners pay 60% and entities 65% on any home.
- ABSD is rounded down to the dollar. Buyer's Stamp Duty is added with the residential rates.
An example
A foreigner buying a $2 million home pays $1,200,000 of ABSD (60%) plus $69,600 of BSD.
