What this does not include

  • First home buyer concessions and exemptions, which differ in every jurisdiction and depend on your circumstances.
  • Mortgage registration and land transfer fees.
  • Land tax, which is an annual charge rather than a purchase cost.
  • Off-the-plan, pensioner, farm and charity concessions.

Estimate only, not financial or legal advice. Duty schedules change on each jurisdiction's own budget cycle, and NSW reindexes its whole table every 1 July. Confirm the figure with the revenue office or your conveyancer before you rely on it. See our methodology.
