It looks like you’re asking about the stamp duty on a property price of $550,000, but the exact amount depends on the state or territory, because stamp duty rules vary across Australia.

For a rough guide, stamp duty often falls somewhere around 3% to 5% for many property prices, so on $550,000 that would be approximately $16,500 to $27,500.

What I need

To give you the exact figure, I need the state or territory :

  • NSW
  • VIC
  • QLD
  • ACT
  • SA
  • WA
  • TAS
  • NT

Example

If you’re in the ACT , the rules can be very different because concessions and thresholds apply, including special treatment for eligible buyers and pensioners.

If you’re in New South Wales , some buyers may qualify for exemptions or concessions depending on the property value and buyer status.

Best next step

Reply with the state/territory and whether this is for a first home , investment , or owner-occupier purchase, and I’ll estimate the stamp duty more precisely.
