Stamp duty in New South Wales (NSW) is calculated on a sliding scale based on the property's value. The rates for 2025 are approximately:
- $0 – $17,000: $1.25 per $100 (minimum $20)
- $17,001 – $37,000: $212 plus $1.50 per $100 over $17,000
- $37,001 – $99,000: $512 plus $1.75 per $100 over $37,000
- $99,001 – $372,000: $1,597 plus $3.50 per $100 over $99,000
- $372,001 – $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
Properties valued over $3.5 million incur a premium rate of $7.00 per $100 for the portion exceeding that amount. First-home buyers may be eligible for exemptions or concessions up to certain property values. Stamp duty is paid by the buyer and is due within 90 days of settlement in NSW.
