In the Northern Territory, transfer duty on a $750,000 established home is $37,125 for an investor or a home buyer who is not a first home buyer.
There's no first home concession at that price, so a first home buyer pays the same.

Common questions
How much stamp duty does a first home buyer pay on a $750,000 home in the Northern Territory?
$37,125. There's no first home concession in the Northern Territory at $750,000, so a first home buyer pays the same as an investor, whether the home is established or new.
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in the Northern Territory?
The NT has no general first home buyer duty discount. Duty is shown at standard rates. But check two things with your broker: buying a house-and-land package as a single contract from a registered builder can be fully exempt from duty (contracts to 30 June 2027), and NT first home buyer grants (like HomeGrown Territory for new builds) are paid as cash, not duty relief.
How much is stamp duty on a $1,000,000 home in the Northern Territory?
Transfer duty on a $1,000,000 established home is $49,500, whether you're an investor or will live in it.
How is stamp duty calculated in the Northern Territory?
Transfer duty is worked out from the dutiable value, usually the purchase price, using the published rates. At $750,000 the general rate is $4.95 per $100 of the full dutiable value. Any first home concession is then taken off.

First home buyers: First home buyer duty relief
The NT delivers first home buyer help as grants and a house-and-land package duty exemption rather than a general duty concession.

General information only, not personal financial or credit advice. Figures are calculated from published state and territory rules for the scenarios shown. They do not confirm eligibility for any concession or scheme, assess borrowing capacity or replace a quote from a conveyancer or the relevant revenue office.
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.
