What this includes

Progressive buyer's stamp duty from 15 February 2023 and ABSD for Singapore Citizens. ABSD for PRs, foreigners and entities is not modelled; the page says so when you choose that profile.

How we calculate

Buyer's stamp duty on residential property from 15 February 2023: 1% on the first S$180,000, 2% on the next S$180,000, 3% on the next S$640,000, 4% on the next S$500,000, 5% on the next S$1.5m and 6% above S$3m. ABSD for Singapore Citizens: 0% on the first property, 20% on the second, 30% on the third and later. BSD and ABSD are rounded down to the nearest dollar. ABSD for PRs, foreigners and entities is not modelled.
