How the £13,750 is worked out
£475,000 is split into portions, and each portion is taxed at its own band rate, so the rate on the last slice is never the rate on the whole price.
| Portion of the price | Rate | Tax |
|---|---|---|
| Up to £125,000 | 0% | £0 |
| £125,001 to £250,000 | 2% | £2,500 |
| £250,001 to £475,000 | 5% | £11,250 |
| Stamp duty | £13,750 |
As an additional property every band rate rises by 5 percentage points, the nil-rate band included, so the same price costs £37,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much stamp duty does a first-time buyer pay on £475,000?
£8,750, which is £5,000 less than the £13,750 a home mover pays on £475,000. The relief charges nothing on the first £300,000 and 5% on the rest, and everyone buying with you has to be a first-time buyer too.
How much is stamp duty on a £475,000 second home or buy-to-let?
£37,500, which is £23,750 more than the £13,750 on a main home. The higher rates add 5 percentage points to every band, including the nil-rate band, so the charge starts at the first pound. If you are replacing your only or main residence in the same transaction they do not apply at all.
What is the effective stamp duty rate on £475,000?
2.89%. The £13,750 bill divided by the £475,000 price is lower than the 5% band the top of the price reaches, because each portion is taxed at its own rate rather than the whole price at one rate. A non-UK resident buyer pays £23,250, an effective 4.89%.
How much stamp duty would I pay on £465,000 or £485,000?
£13,250 on £465,000 and £14,250 on £485,000, against £13,750 on £475,000. Negotiating £10,000 off the price therefore saves £500 in tax on top of the £10,000 itself.
