How stamp duty on £925,000 is worked out
Stamp duty is charged in slices. For a home mover in England or Northern Ireland buying at £925,000:
- £125,000 at 0% = £0
- £125,000 at 2% = £2,500

First-time buyers
First-time buyer relief does not apply because the price is over £500,000, so first-time buyers pay the same as home movers.
Second homes and buy-to-let
A 5% surcharge is added to every band in England and NI, taking the bill to £82,500. In Scotland the 8% Additional Dwelling Supplement applies to the whole price, and Wales has its own higher rates.
Use the stamp duty calculator for a non-UK resident surcharge or a different price, and the mortgage calculator to see the monthly repayments.
