Queensland stamp duty and your walk-away price
In Queensland, transfer duty is charged on top of the purchase price, so it comes straight out of what you can bid. Here are the current rates and a calculator set up for QLD.
QLD rates
| Dutiable value | Duty |
|---|---|
| Up to $5,000 | Nil |
| $5,001–$75,000 | $1.50 per $100 over $5,000 |
| $75,001–$540,000 | $1,050 + $3.50 per $100 over $75,000 |
| $540,001–$1,000,000 | $17,325 + $4.50 per $100 over $540,000 |
| Over $1,000,000 | $38,025 + $5.75 per $100 over $1,000,000 |
General rates. If you will live in the home, the home concession charges $1 per $100 on the first $350,000 and general rates on the balance (agreements from 1 August 2026).
First home buyers
Eligible first home buyers pay no transfer duty on an established home valued at $700,000 or under. Between $700,000 and $800,000 a sliding concession applies, which this calculator does not model: it falls back to the home concession rate and flags the result, so check the QRO estimator for that range.
Not included in this calculator
- First home concession sliding scale ($700k–$800k)
- First home (new home) and vacant land concessions
- Additional foreign acquirer duty (8%)
If one of these applies, the calculator flags the result or you should use the official calculator.

General information only. BidAI does not provide credit advice or credit assistance and does not suggest any lender, loan or product. The calculator gives an estimate from the figures you enter and the stamp duty rates published by state revenue offices (checked 21 October 2026). It doesn’t assess what you can borrow, your eligibility for a concession, or whether a purchase suits you. Concessions, surcharges and costs not listed aren’t included. Confirm duty with the official state calculator and speak with a licensed credit representative, conveyancer or solicitor before you bid.
Frequently asked questions
How much is stamp duty in Queensland?
It depends on the price and whether a concession applies. Use the calculator on this page for an estimate from the Queensland Revenue Office's published rates, then confirm with the official calculator.
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in QLD?
Eligible first home buyers pay no transfer duty on an established home valued at $700,000 or under. Between $700,000 and $800,000 a sliding concession applies, which this calculator does not model: it falls back to the home concession rate and flags the result, so check the QRO estimator for that range.
Does stamp duty reduce how much I can bid?
Yes. Duty is paid on top of the price, usually from your own funds, so the more you bid the more duty you pay. The walk-away calculator accounts for that.
