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 WA?
Western Australian transfer duty is progressive, from 1.9% up to 5.15% above $725,000. Owner occupied homes up to $200,000 get a lower residential rate. The calculator applies the current RevenueWA scale.
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in WA?
Not up to $600,000. Under the first home owner rate, from 7 May 2026 homes up to $600,000 pay no duty. Above $600,000 a concessional rate of $16.15 per $100 applies, phasing out at $800,000. Vacant land is free of duty up to $450,000, then $20.14 per $100 up to $550,000. One scale now applies across the whole state, so the earlier Perth metro and Peel versus regional split is gone.
How much extra do foreign buyers pay in WA?
Foreign purchasers pay a 7% surcharge on residential property value, on top of standard transfer duty. The calculator adds it when you switch on the foreign buyer toggle.
