How this is calculated

Transfer duty formula (general rates, 2025-26)

$0 to $17,000: $1.25 per $100 (minimum $20)
$17,001 to $37,000: $212 plus $1.50 per $100 over $17,000
$37,001 to $99,000: $512 plus $1.75 per $100 over $37,000
$99,001 to $372,000: $1,597 plus $3.50 per $100 over $99,000
$372,001 to $1,240,000: $11,152 plus $4.50 per $100 over $372,000
Over $1,240,000: $50,212 plus $5.50 per $100 over $1,240,000

First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme (if you tick first home buyer)

New or existing home valued $800,000 or under: no transfer duty.
New or existing home $800,000 to $1,000,000: a concessional rate applies. The figure shown is an approximate taper only. Your conveyancer or Revenue NSW confirms the exact amount.
Vacant residential land $350,000 or under: no transfer duty; $350,000 to $450,000: a concessional rate applies (approximate taper).
Above these caps, general transfer duty rates apply.

Conveyancing professional fee

We show a typical Sydney range of from $800 to around $1,800 for a routine residential matter. This is an indicative range only, framed as "from" and "typically". The actual fixed fee is set by the individual licensed conveyancer or solicitor we connect you with. Government charges, search fees, transfer duty and third-party disbursements are additional and vary by property.

Assumptions

Standard residential transfer; owner-occupier or investment treated the same for general duty (investors do not receive the first home benefits).
Single buyer or buyers all eligible; no foreign purchaser additional duty, no premium duty, and no other concessions or exemptions applied.
Excludes mortgage registration, transfer registration, search fees and other disbursements.
Duty is calculated on the price you enter as the dutiable value.

First Home Owner (New Homes) Grant (a separate scheme)

The NSW First Home Owner (New Homes) Grant is a separate payment from the First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme duty benefit. It is $10,000 for an eligible brand-new home that no one has lived in priced $600,000 or under, or for building a home where the combined land and building value is $750,000 or under. It applies to new homes only, not existing homes. The grant and the duty scheme are two different schemes with different rules, so an eligible buyer of a new home may receive both. Eligibility is set by Revenue NSW. Source: Revenue NSW (revenue.nsw.gov.au), as at 2026-06.
