South Australia stamp duty calculator
Stamp duty on a $600,000 South Australian home is $26,830.
First home buyers of a new home, an off-the-plan apartment or vacant land to build on pay none at any value (contracts from 13 February 2025); established homes have no first home concession. Enter the price and who is buying.
How it's worked out
South Australia charges stamp duty on conveyances per $100 or part of $100 of the value, on one scale for everyone: there is no general owner-occupier concession.
Eligible first home buyers get full stamp duty relief on a new home, an off-the-plan apartment or vacant land for building their home, with no value cap, for contracts from 13 February 2025. The relief does not cover the 7% foreign ownership surcharge.
