How it works

Enter the property price. The calculator applies the Welsh LTT progressive bands: 0% up to £225,000, 6% from £225,000 to £400,000, 7.5% from £400,000 to £750,000, 10% from £750,000 to £1,500,000, and 12% above £1,500,000. Each rate applies only to the portion of the price within that band. Wales has no first-time buyer relief.

Frequently asked questions

What is LTT in Wales?
LTT (Land Transaction Tax) is Wales's equivalent of stamp duty. It is a progressive tax charged on the portion of the property price within each band. For 2026/27 the rates are 0% up to £225,000, 6% from £225,000 to £400,000, 7.5% from £400,000 to £750,000, 10% from £750,000 to £1,500,000, and 12% above £1,500,000.
Is there first-time buyer relief in Wales?
No. Unlike England and Scotland, Wales does not have a separate first-time buyer relief scheme. All residential property purchases in Wales use the same standard LTT rates, regardless of whether you are a first-time buyer.
How does Welsh LTT compare to English SDLT?
Wales has a much higher nil rate band (£225,000 vs £125,000) but a steeper 6% rate in the next band (vs 2% in England). For a £350,000 property, Wales LTT is £7,500 while England SDLT is also £7,500. Use the main stamp duty calculator to compare all three nations.
Do I pay LTT on a second home or buy-to-let?
This calculator shows standard rates only. Additional property purchases (second homes, buy-to-let) may attract a higher rate supplement. Check the Welsh Revenue Authority for the latest additional property rates.
When do I have to pay LTT?
LTT returns and payment are due within 30 days of the completion date. Your solicitor will typically handle the filing and payment on your behalf through the Welsh Revenue Authority.
