Explainer (for SEO + humans)
SDLT is charged in bands: you pay 0% on the first slice, then higher rates on the next slices. This calculator shows the band‑by‑band breakdown so you can sanity‑check the result.
FAQs
- Additional property surcharge: often applies if you’ll own more than one residential property after purchase. Replacing your main residence can change this.
- First‑time buyer relief: only applies if you (and anyone you’re buying with) are first‑time buyers, and the price is within the cap.
- Non‑UK resident surcharge: may apply depending on presence in the UK (rules are detailed).
