How Singapore stamp duties work
Enter the property price
Type the higher of the purchase price and market value — stamp duty is computed on the higher figure, rounded down to the nearest dollar.
Pick property type and buyer profile
Residential and non-residential use different BSD bands; ABSD depends on your profile (citizen / PR / foreigner / entity) and how many residential properties you already own.
Read the buyer-side duties
Results show Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD), Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) and the total purchase stamp duty instantly.
Compute SSD when needed
Fill in the purchase and sale dates. Residential property bought on or after 4 July 2025 uses the new schedule (16%/12%/8%/4% within 4 years); earlier purchases use the old one (12%/8%/4% within 3 years).
How Singapore stamp duties work
Three duties dominate Singapore property transactions. Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD) is banded and applies to everyone: 1% on the first $180,000 rising to 6% on the residential portion above $3 million. The schedule in force dates from February 2023.
Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) is the cooling-measure surcharge, charged flat on the whole price by buyer profile and property count: citizens pay nothing on a first home but 20%/30% on subsequent ones; PRs start at 5%; foreigners pay 60% and entities 65% regardless of count.
Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) discourages flipping. A July 2025 cooling measure stretched it to four years at 16%/12%/8%/4% — but only for property purchased on or after 4 July 2025; earlier purchases keep the 3-year 12%/8%/4% table. The schedule follows the purchase date, so both tables remain live until about 2029.
All duties compute on the higher of price and market value, rounded down to the nearest dollar, payable within 14 days of signing. Remissions exist for citizen couples and other special cases but are outside this calculator.
These rates change by surprise: ABSD jumped overnight in December 2021 and April 2023, SSD in July 2025. The rates here are as at the date shown — verify on iras.gov.sg before committing.
10 Facts About Singapore Stamp Duty
Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD) is banded: 1% on the first $180,000, rising to 6% on the residential portion above $3 million (5% non-residential above $1.5 million).
The current BSD schedule has applied since 15 February 2023 and was unchanged through Budgets 2024–2026.
ABSD applies to the whole price: citizens 0% (1st), 20% (2nd), 30% (3rd+); PRs 5%/30%/35%; foreigners a flat 60%; entities 65%.
US nationals — and nationals AND PRs of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland — pay ABSD at citizen rates under free-trade agreements.
Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) tightened sharply on 4 July 2025: newly-bought residential property sold within 4 years pays 16%/12%/8%/4%.
The SSD schedule is selected by PURCHASE date — pre-4-July-2025 purchases stay on the old table (12%/8%/4% within 3 years).
HDB flats are practically unaffected by SSD: the 5-year Minimum Occupation Period outlasts the 4-year taxable window.
For joint purchases, ABSD is charged at the higher profile of the couple (citizen couples can apply for remission on a first home).
Stamp duty is computed on the higher of price and market value, rounded down to the nearest dollar.
