What this calculator answers
UK residential purchase tax depends on location and buyer status. England and Northern Ireland use SDLT, Scotland uses LBTT and Wales uses LTT with different progressive bands.
Apply current progressive residential purchase-tax bands for England/Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales.
Method and calculation order
The calculator applies each verified marginal band to the portion of price within that band. England/NI additional-property and non-resident surcharges and Scotland ADS are added only when selected; Wales uses its published higher-rate schedule.
Worked reference example
For a standard 295,000 purchase in England or Northern Ireland, tax is 0% on 125,000, 2% on 125,000 and 5% on 45,000, totaling 4,750.
How to use the result
