SA stamp duty calculator
Estimate South Australia stamp duty and registration costs
The calculator applies the supported South Australian conveyance-duty rules to the facts
you enter and keeps stamp duty separate from transfer registration, mortgage registration
and buyer benefits. It is an estimate, not a RevenueSA assessment.
Dutiable value matters
For an ordinary supported transaction, duty can depend on the value recognised under the
South Australian rules rather than simply assuming every purchase price is the correct
duty basis. The detailed pathway asks when that distinction may matter.
Bracket calculations stay source-backed
The calculation engine uses the verified South Australian conveyance-duty brackets and
rounding rules maintained from official sources. The site does not copy figures from
competitor calculators.
Relief is not assumed
Supported first-home or other relief is only included after the required facts are
confirmed. If eligibility is uncertain, the calculator keeps the benefit out of the
result rather than presenting it as guaranteed.
Figures below are produced by this site’s SA calculator for an
established home where the purchase price equals market value, the buyer
is not claiming first-home relief, and a mortgage is registered. Rule snapshot verified 23
August 2026 (sourced from
RevenueSA stamp duty rates
and the SA 2026–27 land-registration fee notice). General information only — not a
RevenueSA assessment.

Stamp duty questions
How is South Australian stamp duty calculated?
Conveyance duty uses RevenueSA’s published brackets on the dutiable value, with each
marginal part of $100 charged as a whole $100. See the
RevenueSA rate of stamp duty
table. This calculator applies those brackets from its verified rule snapshot.
Is stamp duty the only government cost when buying property?
No. Transfer registration and, where relevant, mortgage registration are separate
government charges. The calculator itemises them rather than combining everything into
one unexplained figure.
When does stamp duty arise on a purchase?
Stamp duty is calculated on the dutiable conveyance. Registration fees are separate and
relate to lodging dealings with Land Services SA. Final timing and payment treatment are
set by RevenueSA and the registration authority — this site estimates amounts from the
facts you enter, not lodgement deadlines.
Do first-home buyers always pay less stamp duty?
No. RevenueSA first-home stamp duty relief applies only to supported property types such
as a new home, off-the-plan apartment, or vacant land to build on — not an established
home. See
RevenueSA eligible properties. The calculator only includes relief after the required facts are confirmed.
What about off-the-plan or new homes?
New homes and off-the-plan apartments can qualify for first-home duty relief when
RevenueSA’s applicant and residence rules are also met. Established homes do not. Check
RevenueSA first-home buyer relief
and use the calculator’s first-home pathway rather than assuming a discount.
Does the calculator guarantee a final duty amount?
No. It provides an estimate from the supported facts and verified rule period. RevenueSA
and the relevant registration authority determine final treatment and amounts.
