About stamp duty in WA
The general table is a standard progressive scale. Above $725,000 the marginal rate is 5.15% on the excess, after a $28,453 base.
RevenueWA also publishes owner-occupier concessional rates. They are not modelled on this page, so a home buyer and an investor currently see the same general figure. Treat that as a labelled gap, not as advice that no concession exists.
Landgate’s regulated transfer document fee from 1 July 2026 is $225.10.

- Does this WA calculator apply first-home or PPR rates?
- No. Owner-occupier concessional rates are published by RevenueWA and are not in this model. The figure you see is the general schedule.
- Is WA stamp duty the same as transfer duty?
- Yes. Western Australia’s legislation and RevenueWA use transfer duty. Settlement quotes still often say stamp duty.
