How it's calculated
- General duty uses the SRO non-PPR rate table (below).
- If you tick PPR (or first home buyer) and the value is over $130,000 and up to $550,000, the PPR rates apply instead.
- First home buyer: nil duty up to $600,000. From $600,001 to $750,000, duty = duty otherwise payable × (value − $600,000) ÷ $150,000.
| Dutiable value | Duty |
|---|---|
| $0 – $25,000 | 1.4% of value |
| $25,001 – $130,000 | $350 + 2.4% over $25,000 |
| $130,001 – $960,000 | $2,870 + 6% over $130,000 |
| $960,001 – $2,000,000 | 5.5% of value |
| Over $2,000,000 | $110,000 + 6.5% over $2,000,000 |
| Dutiable value | Duty |
|---|---|
| $130,001 – $440,000 | $2,870 + 5% over $130,000 |
| $440,001 – $550,000 | $18,370 + 6% over $440,000 |
Worked example
A first home buyer pays $650,000. General duty is $2,870 + 6% × $520,000 = $34,070. The concession factor is ($650,000 − $600,000) ÷ $150,000 = one third, so the duty is about $11,357, a saving of about $22,713.

- SRO Victoria: General land transfer duty rates.
- SRO Victoria: PPR current rates.
- SRO Victoria: First home buyer duty exemption or concession ($600,000 and $750,000 thresholds, plus eligibility and the 12-month residence rule).
- The linear sliding-scale formula for $600,001 to $750,000 reproduces the SRO's published "reduced amount". We checked it against several independent worked examples. Confirm with the SRO duty calculator.

FAQ
How much is stamp duty in Victoria?
It depends on the dutiable value (the price or market value, whichever is higher). For example, general duty on a $650,000 property is $34,070 (SRO Victoria rates).
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in Victoria?
Eligible first home buyers pay no duty up to a dutiable value of $600,000 and a reduced amount from $600,001 to $750,000. Above $750,000 full duty applies.
How is the $600,000 to $750,000 concession worked out?
Duty is phased in on a straight line: the duty otherwise payable multiplied by (dutiable value − $600,000) ÷ $150,000. At $675,000 you pay half the normal duty.
What is the principal place of residence (PPR) concession?
If you'll live in the home and the dutiable value is over $130,000 and up to $550,000, lower PPR rates apply. Above $550,000 the general rates apply.
Does this include foreign purchaser duty or the land transfer registration fee?
No. Foreign purchaser additional duty, off-the-plan concessions, pensioner concessions and Land Use Victoria registration fees aren't included. Check the SRO calculator before you sign.
