Buyer's Stamp Duty Calculator
If you are buying a property in Singapore, one of the first upfront costs you need to prepare for is the Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD).
Simply put, BSD is a tax levied on all property purchases in Singapore. It is calculated based on the purchase price or the market valuation of the property—whichever is higher.
While the standard Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD) applies to everyone buying a property, the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) is a separate, extra tax that depends entirely on who you are and how many residential properties you already own.
Introduced as a property cooling measure, the government uses ABSD to manage housing demand and keep homes affordable for Singaporeans. Unlike the tiered BSD system, ABSD is a flat percentage applied to the total purchase price or market valuation of the property (whichever is higher).
