Why these calculators are different
Every rate comes from HMRC, Revenue Scotland, the Welsh Revenue Authority or HM Land Registry, and we show which and when we last checked. Our stamp duty sums are tested against the worked examples those authorities publish, and every result has a "Show the workings" button.
