Heads up
These figures are a guide for budgeting... not financial or legal advice. Real-world stamp duty can shift depending on how the property is held, whether it's off-the-plan, what your contract actually says, and which concessions you qualify for. Your conveyancer or state revenue office will confirm the final number before settlement.
