What is it
Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD) is payable by everyone who buys property in Singapore, regardless of nationality, charged on a progressive scale set by IRAS. Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) is layered on top depending on residency status and the number of properties owned.
How it works
BSD applies progressively from 1% to 6% depending on the purchase price. ABSD then adds a flat percentage based on whether the buyer is a Singapore Citizen, Permanent Resident, or foreigner, and how many residential properties they already own.
Calculation methodology
This calculator applies IRAS's current BSD bands to the purchase price, then adds ABSD at the rate for the selected residency status, assuming a first property purchase.
Exemptions & reliefs
Singapore Citizens buying their first residential property currently pay no ABSD; PRs and foreigners pay ABSD even on a first purchase.
Recent rule changes
Rates reflect the schedule in effect since 27 April 2023, including the 60% ABSD rate for foreigners.
