Many property buyers focus on the purchase price but may overlook the stamp duties payable during the transaction.
The Stamp Duty Calculator helps estimate both Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD) and Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) based on the property’s purchase price, buyer profile, citizenship and existing property ownership.
Whether you are buying your first property, upgrading or investing, this calculator provides a quick estimate of the stamp duties that may be payable before committing to a purchase.
The applicable ABSD rate depends on factors such as citizenship, residency status and the number of residential properties owned at the time of purchase. Different rates apply to Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents, Foreigners, Entities and Trust purchases.
For purchases involving multiple buyers, the applicable ABSD treatment may depend on the ownership structure and prevailing regulations. This calculator uses the highest applicable buyer profile for estimation purposes.
Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) is generally payable when purchasing another residential property. However, certain buyers may be eligible for ABSD remission under specific conditions.
One of the most common examples involves married couples purchasing a replacement home. In some situations, eligible couples may pay ABSD upfront and subsequently apply for remission after meeting the required conditions.
As ABSD remission rules can be complex and are subject to change, buyers should always verify their eligibility directly with IRAS or their conveyancing lawyer before relying on any remission assumptions.
In many cases, married couples who jointly own a residential property and are purchasing another residential property together may be eligible for ABSD remission if they satisfy the prevailing IRAS conditions.
Typically, the existing property must be sold within the prescribed timeline and all remission requirements must be fulfilled.
As the rules vary depending on ownership structure, citizenship and the type of property being purchased, buyers should seek professional advice before proceeding.
No.
This calculator estimates ABSD based on the information entered and does not take ABSD remission into account.
Where ABSD remission may apply, the actual stamp duty payable could be lower than the estimate shown by the calculator.
BSD and ABSD are generally payable within the prescribed timeline after exercising the Option to Purchase or signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Buyers should ensure sufficient funds are available to meet these obligations.
This calculator provides an estimate based on the information entered. Actual BSD and ABSD payable may differ depending on ownership structure, remission eligibility, regulatory changes and the final purchase arrangement.
This calculator is intended as a general planning tool and should not be regarded as financial, legal or tax advice. Buyers should verify all stamp duty obligations with IRAS, their conveyancing lawyer or other professional advisers before proceeding with a property purchase.
Property purchases often involve considerations beyond stamp duties alone. A personalised assessment can help you understand the overall financial impact of your purchase before committing.
