First home concessions, the foreign purchaser surcharge and buying as an investor all change the result, so use the calculator above for your own purchase. Estimates only, not a quote.

Frequently asked questions
How is stamp duty calculated in Queensland?
Queensland transfer duty runs from nil below $5,000 up to 5.75% above $1,000,000. If you are an owner occupier claiming the home concession, you pay a reduced 1% rate on the first $350,000. The calculator picks the right QRO rate table for your buyer type.
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in Queensland?
Not always. For contracts from 1 May 2025, eligible first home buyers pay no duty at all on new homes and residential vacant land to build on, with no price cap. Established homes get the first home concession. It removes duty up to $700,000, then steps down in $10,000 bands for homes under $800,000 (a $730,000 home pays $6,555 instead of $18,700). You must move in (within 1 year for a home, or build and move in within 2 years for vacant land) and not sell before moving in. For contracts entered into from 1 August 2026, you must also be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or specified foreign retiree. This rule applies to the owner occupier home concession as well.
What is additional foreign acquirer duty in Queensland?
Foreign purchasers of residential land pay additional foreign acquirer duty of 8% of the property value, on top of standard transfer duty. The calculator adds it when you switch on the foreign buyer toggle.
