What stamp duty costs in South Australia
Someone buying an established home to live in, at three prices, under the SA rates above.
| Purchase price | Stamp duty | Share of price |
|---|---|---|
| $650,000 | $29,580 | 4.6% |
| $850,000 | $40,580 | 4.8% |
| $1,200,000 | $59,830 | 5.0% |
These figures assume you are not a first home buyer and not a foreign purchaser, and they exclude transfer and mortgage registration fees. 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 South Australia?
SA stamp duty is progressive from 1% up to 5.5% above $500,000, with no separate owner occupier scale. The calculator applies the current RevenueSA rate table to the purchase price.
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in South Australia?
Only on established homes. First home buyers building or buying a new home or vacant land to build on pay no stamp duty, with no price cap. Established homes get no first home relief in SA, so full duty applies.
How much extra do foreign buyers pay in South Australia?
Foreign purchasers pay a 7% surcharge on residential land value in addition to standard duty. The calculator adds it when the foreign buyer toggle is on.
