How these figures are made
Every figure is calculated by the same engine and rules data that run the Cost to Complete calculator on this site. Each rule records its official source and the date it was checked. Worked examples show each line with the engine's own explanation, and examples marked as matching an official example reproduce a revenue office's published calculation.
Not included in these figures:
- Foreign purchaser surcharge duty and land tax.
- Off-the-plan, pensioner, senior and other special concessions not listed on each state page.
- First home owner grants and other cash grants, which are paid separately and do not reduce duty.
- Eligibility conditions such as residence periods, citizenship, prior ownership and income tests. The first home figures assume every condition is met.
- Conveyancing, lender, inspection and insurance costs.
