Property Transfer Duty in Queensland
Buying a property in Queensland is more than just the price of the home itself. You also need to budget thousands of dollars more to cover extra buying costs, where Transfer Duty (previously known as stamp duty) is the main one to consider, along with conveyancing, building and best and bank/government charges.
Use this calculator to more accurately estimate the cost of any transfer duty payable when buying a home or investment property in Queensland. As these costs usually come from your savings or deposit, it’s important you budget upfront.

Tips For QLD Transfer Duty Calculator Estimates
Budget for Transfer Duty
As a general rule of thumb, budget for an additional 2% to 3% of the property purchase price to cover Transfer Duty.
Paid Before Settlement
Transfer Duty needs to be paid upfront before you settle (take ownership) of the property.
Calculated by Your Conveyancer
Stamp Duty is normally calculated by your conveyancer / solicitor when you have a contract of sale on a property.
Check for Duty Concessions
Check if you get any Transfer Duty Concessions.
When is Transfer Duty paid?
Transfer duty is paid in advance before finalising the purchase of a property, so you’ll need savings to cover it.
You will also need savings to cover your deposit and other government charges.
